I located the probate record for Rosannah Binnall online through the Utah State Archives & Utah State History. Rosannah Leech's first marriage was to John Bowers and her second marriage is to Charles Binnall. I paid a fee and received a copy of the record in the mail. The copy is difficult to read at times, so hopefully the scanned images below are still readable. There is a total of twelve pages. Below I tried to transcribe some of the pages. When you see dashes, those are words that I could not decipher.
