Members of the Diggle and Andrew Families were among British converts to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under the ministry of Apostle Orson Pratt in the early 1850s. The two families emigrated to the United States in about 1854. Samuel and Sarah Diggle settled in Iowa, where they became affiliated with the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS). Fredrick and Elizabeth Andrew settled in the Salt Lake Valley, continuing their membership in the Mormon (LDS) Church. Sarah Diggle and Elizabeth Andrew were sisters.
