Willia Adam Maiben was born in England shortly after his parents’ move from Scotland. His parents were Adam Maiben and Sarah Osmer. William was the third child of seven born to his mother Sarah. She died when William was eight years of age. In 1814, William married Catherine Williams Cater. They became the parents of 12 children. Eight were daughters and 4 were sons. Two of those children heard the message of the missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints and emigrated with their families to America. Both brothers settled in Utah. Family history kept by William’s descendants tell us that he and his family were coach and carriage makers. By 1844, Pigot’s Directory of Cornwall lists William Maiben as a cabinet maker and a paper hanger. His residence was on Parade Street. Both William and his wife Catherine are buried in Brighton, England.
