Born in Leicester, Leicestershire, England, one of twelve children born to James and Mary Ann Payne Mellor. Charlotte Elizabeth immigrated to the United States with her family in 1856 with other Mormon converts on the ship, Horizon. They joined the Martin Handcart Company for travel across the plains to Utah, surviving harsh conditions of an early winter only because of a desparate, and now-famous, rescue in Wyoming by wagon teams from the Salt Lake Valley. She became the wife of John Henry Roper (1836-1928), another English immigrant, and bore him 13 children.
