Dorthula's uncle James Wright Shupe (b. 1823) and her father (b. 1815) enlisted in the Mormon Battalion in 1846 as part of Captain James Brown's Company "C".
Elizabeth Creager Shupe was left to live in a covered wagon with four small children, Dorthula, John, Rosanna and Brigham. During Andrew's absence Elizabeth was destitute on the prairie having to depend on her own labor for a living. Initially her in-laws, were living close by until their unfortunate deaths, Peter Shupe on September 15, 1846 and Sarah Wright Shupe a day later, on September 16, 1846. They rest together beside the Mormon trail near Council Bluff, Pottawattamie County, Iowa. The Pottawattamie County online webpage (http://www.rootsweb.com/~iapottaw/MrmnMisc.htm) and (http://iagenweb.org/pottawattamie/mil/mormon-battalion-E.htm) state that Sarah Shupe the wife of James Wright Shupe, another account says Sarah Shupe is the wife of Andrew Jackson Shupe, accompanied him on the Mormon Battalion trek. After nearly two years Andrew returned to Winter Quarters where he was reunited with his family in 1848. Dorthula's family entered the Salt Lake Valley on September 30, 1852. They lived in Little Cottonwood then in 1855 moved to Ogden, Weber County, Utah with the four surviving children. Dorthula married Captain James Brown on 17 February 1856 in Salt Lake City, Utah. She gave her birth date as 1838 when she was sealed to James Brown. Shupe family records indicates it was 1834 [Page 2756 indicates 1838]. After the death of Captain James Brown on September 30, 1863, (3)Dorthula married James Otha Stephens, son of John Stephens and Elizabeth Briggs Stephens (and nephew of Martha Stephens Brown, first wife of Captain James Brown), as Otha's third wife.
James Otha Stephens was born on 1 May 1834 in Chicago, Brown [Cook County], IL. He died on 8 July 1907 in Ogden, Weber, UT. He was buried on 11 July 1907 in Ogden, Weber, Utah. He married "Dorthela Cathran Shupe". Other marriages: (1)Martha Ann Wilson, (2)Mary Catherine Stubfield. (Hugh and Eva Hopkins have brought to our attention the fact that Chicago is in Cook County not in Brown County. It is interesting that both counties have ties to our family. Brown County, Illinois was formed from Schuyler County, Illinois on 1 Feb 1839 in the central west section of Illinois, near Missouri. It was named for Jacob Brown [1775-1828] a Brigadier General of New York volunteers during the early years of the War of 1812. By 1815, he was Commander-in-chief of the Army. He received a gold medal for his action at Chippewa, Erie, and Niagra.) Otha was baptized by the Prophet Joseph Smith and confirmed by Hiram Smith in 1843. On June 27, 1844 Joseph and Hiram were murdered by painted-face ruffians. There is a report that Dorthula also married a James Wright Shupe, unconfirmed, but she does have an uncle by this name. Dorthula's father, Andrew Jackson Shupe, died on 8 March 1877 of a paralytic stroke. Dorthula died 3 March 1911, never bearing any children. Andrew Jackson and Elizabeth Creager Shupe had thirteen children:
