I am not sure the following child exists. 
I can't find her on any Census and she is not listed with this surname in the Sandhill Cemetery.  I am wondering if someone added Sarah as Sallie/Sally and the name morphed over time.  If you know the truth, please let me know.

Note: many people have shared what was contained in the book, The  Forney Five Family Records which was written by Charles Forney, published 1937.  However, one thing I keep in mind is that people are human and make mistakes.  The book claims James Houston (husband of Mary Magdalena Ettleman) was born in Ireland (he wasn't).

Life Sketch
This is how the story goes as shared on Family Search:
James and Mary Magdalena Ettleman Houston were well to do farmers. They joined the Mormon Church and the subsequent persecutions, lost their farm and home. Later, they joined the Saints at Nauvoo. Sometime in late 1841, while working on the Nauvoo Temple, Grandfather died of exposure. Later Grandmother went to live with a dear friend; Mrs. Alleman (may be Allman). Just why Grandmother did not go to live with one of her children is not known. Her daughters had nearly all married men prominent in the church. Mary was the wife of Joseph Smith and later of Heber C. Kimball; Sarah was Mrs. Parley P. Pratt; Ann was Mrs. Mrs. Newell Whitney; Susan was Mrs. Benjamin Mitchell. She also had a son, Jon. Her oldest daughter, Elizabeth never joined the Church. It was probably that the poor little mother, whose health was impaired by the bitter experiences she had undergone, felt unequal to further persecutions and journeys in search of a home. At any rate, she died in 1846 at the home of her friend in Nauvoo.
Now, to address the speculation at the end of this sketch:
I believe the reason Mary Ettleman didn't go to live with her children is a matter of logistics. Her only son was dead as of 1852, and her girls (except Elizabeth) were living over a thousand miles away in Utah. Elizabeth never joined the church and married James McBee, another non-member. If Elizabeth happened to be bitter against the church, there may have been friction.

Children: Susan, Mary, Elizabeth, Clara, Christena
Mormon Overland Trail:  Joel Edmunds Company
Died 16 Nov 1854, Brigham City, Box Elder, Utah
Note: History of Box Elder County, (published by D.U.P.,1937) Philip had been hauling a load of timber and on the return trip was driving up 3rd North near 3rd East. He was sitting on the front of the running gears when the reach-pole broke loose from the hind gear. The motion of the wagon caused the pole to fly forward and hit the team on the back, at the same time pinning him in such a way that he was dragged to death by the runaway team.
