In 1863, the Harveys boarded the Amazon, a ship bound for New York from London. They brought with them their three children, Hannah and Naomi Brendham, and young adult nieces Matilda and Rachel Smuin (daughters of Thomas Smuin). Charles Dickens interviewed George Q. Cannon about the emigrants and published some thoughts on their journey. William Fowler, author of the hymn "We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet", was also on the ship.
The family settled in Kaysville, where they farmed, planted an orchard, and raised silkworms. Hannah also sewed and made straw hats, using skills she had learned from her mother and as a tailor's apprentice in London.
In 1868, Daniel and Hannah's niece, Ellen Wooton, age 18, immigrated to Utah with some extended family members. A few months after her arrival, she married Daniel Harvey as his first polygamous wife. Hannah and Ellen had separate homes, both in Kaysville.
Ann Padmore Gilbert was a childless widow who immigrated to Utah in 1864 (age 54) on the same ship as Hannah's nephew, George Empey. In 1870, she was living with Ellen Harvey and her newborn, George. She married Daniel as his second polygamous wife in 1872.
In 1887, Daniel was sentenced to 6 months in prison for polygamy. About that time, Ellen and her 18-year-old son George moved to Utah County, first to Cedar Fort and later settling in Lehi. Daniel lived with Ellen there and died in Lehi in 1899.
