Her father, James Terwilliger, brought the family to Oregon in that year, as part of the ill-fated Meek Cutoff party. Her mother died shortly after reaching The Dalles.[2]

She was married twice, and was known for her role in women's suffrage movement, with the Oregon Pioneer Association, and as "Mother Moffett" as a caretaker of orphans.[3]
