About
Patty Bartlett Sessions (February 4, 1795 – December 14, 1892) was an early member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She is celebrated for her work as a midwife for members of the Church. One of her sons, Perrigrine Sessions, was the founder of Bountiful, Utah. She is best known for her diaries, which recorded the daily activities of the Latter Day Saints during the first year of the Mormon migration to Utah, and the earliest days of their settlement there. These diaries document the physical, social, and religious circumstances of the settlers, especially of the women, and are frequently cited by historians. Her records are also a primary source of birth records for the Latter-day Saint community during this period, and are highly prized for documenting almost 4,000 births. Her journals are also important because they provide an inside look into the brief period of Latter-day saint polygamy.
