She listened to and recorded the stories regularly, editing them at the end of each day spent transcribing. Coray was able to find some information in letters and documents that concerned Smith, but most of the content of the biography came from the mouth of Mack Smith.

She wanted to preserve Smith's history so that her children would have access to it in the future. Coray felt that her earlier experience transcribing Smith's speeches had prepared her for her work on his biography. Howard Coray later joined his wife in this effort, and the final product was finished in 1845, after approximately a year of work. The Corays had two copies of the biography printed: one for Mack Smith, and one for the church's records.

Likewise, in her capacity as board member, Coray was tasked by Young to focus her efforts on ensuring that young women attended the academy.

Coray never attended law school or received formal legal training of any kind, but her participation in legal matters regardless was in line with convention in Utah at the time.
