{{Epigraph|The Prophet said...that it [plural marriage] would damn more than it would have because \so many/ unprincipled men would take advantage of it, but that did not prove that it was not a pure principle.

The Lord commanded him to teach & to practice that principle.<br><br>&mdash;Helen Mar Kimball Whitney, Letter to Mary Bond, n.d., 3-9 quoted in Brian Hales, ''Joseph Smith's Polygamy: History'', Vol. 1, 26-27. {{link|url=http://www.amazon.com/Joseph-Smiths-Polygamy-Volume-1a-ebook/dp/B00BI4J2Y2}}

The record is frustratingly incomplete regarding the question of which marriages were consummated, it is likewise spotty with regards to whether Joseph fathered children by his plural wives. Fawn Brodie was the first to consider this question in any detail, though her standard of evidence was depressingly low. Subsequent authors have returned to the problem, though unanimity has been elusive (see [[#Table_1|Table 1]]).  Ironically, Brodie did not even mention the case of Josephine Lyon, now considered the most likely potential child of Joseph.

<ref>Bergera writes that four "may or may not" have been fathered by Joseph, citing {{Book:Compton:Brodie on JS Plural Wives|pages=xxx}} as the authority.  See Gary James Bergera, "Identifying the Earliest Mormon Polygamists, 1841–44," ''Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought'' 38/ 3 (Fall 2005): 49–50n115.  Interestingly, Compton's article lists only one of these four (Josephine Fisher) as a likely child of Joseph's—Bergera's reference does not support his claim.</ref>

It is claimed that Joseph Smith fathered children with some of his plural wives, and that he covered up the evidence of pregnancies. It is also claimed that Joseph Smith had intimate relations with other men’s wives to whom he had been sealed, and that children resulted from these unions.

Critics of Joseph Smith have long had difficulty reconciling their concept of Joseph as a promiscuous womanizer with the fact that the only recorded children of the prophet are those that he had with Emma. Science is now shedding new light on this issue as DNA research has eliminated most of the possibilities that had long been rumored to be descendants of Joseph Smith. In the case of at least two, however, DNA cannot tell us either way. The historical reasoning for justifying that Joseph had children by these wives is dubious.

Rex Cooper…has questioned the interpretation that Smith was Fisher's biological father. He posits that because Fisher's mother was sealed to Smith, Fisher was his daughter only in a spiritual sense…More problematic is whether there is a discrepancy between what Fisher understood and what her mother meant.  That is, did Fisher interpret her mother's remarks to mean she was the biological daughter of Joseph Smith and thus state that with more certitude than was warranted, when in fact her mother meant only that in the hereafter Fisher would belong to Joseph Smith's family through Session's sealing to him?  Because Sessions was on her deathbed, when one's thoughts naturally turn to the hereafter, the latter is a reasonable explanation.<ref>{{Book:Daynes:More Wives Than One|pages=30}}; citing Rex Eugene Cooper, Promises Made to the Fathers: Mormon Covenant Organization (Publications in Mormon Studies), (University of Utah Press, 1990), 143n1}}</ref>

[t]he desire for secrecy as well as the delicacy of the situation assure us that Mrs. Sessions was not merely explaining to her daughter that she was Smith's child by virtue of a temple sealing.  The plain inference arising from Jenson's curiosity in the matter and Mrs. Fisher's remarks is that she was, in fact, the offspring of Joseph Smith.<ref>{{Book:Bachman:Thesis:1975/Short|pages=142}}</ref>

However, DNA evidence now disproves this theory. It is possible, then, that Fisher misunderstood her mother, but this seems unlikely. Any unreliability is more likely to arise because of a dying woman's confusion than from miscommunication. No evidence exists for such confusion, though we cannot rule it out.

Josephine's account is also noteworthy because her mother emphasizes that "…she [had] been sealed to the Prophet at the time that her husband Mr. Lyon was out of fellowship with the Church."<ref>Josephine R Fisher, affidavit, 24 February 1915, LDS Archives.</ref>  This may explain her reasoning for being sealed to Joseph at all—her husband was out of fellowship. Todd Compton opines that "[i]t seems unlikely that Sylvia would deny [her husband] cohabitation rights after he was excommunicated," but this conclusion seems based on little but a gut reaction.<ref>{{Book:Compton:ISL|pages=183}}</ref> These women took their religion seriously; given Sylvia's deathbed remarks, this was a point she considered important enough to emphasize. She apparently believed it would provide an explanation for something that her daughter might have otherwise misunderstood.

There is also clear evidence that at least some early members of the Church would have taken a similar attitude toward sexual relations with an unbelieving spouse.  My own third-great grandfather, Isaiah Moses Coombs, provides a striking illustration of this from the general membership of the Church.

Coombs had immigrated to Utah, but his non-member spouse refused to accompany him.  Heartsick, he consulted Brigham Young for advice.  Young "sat with one hand on my knee, looking at my face and listen[ing] attentively." Then, Young took the new arrival "by the hand in his fatherly way," and said "[Y]ou had better take a mission to the States…to preach the gospel and visit your wife…visit your wife as often as you please; preach the gospel to her, and if she is worth having she will come with you when you return to the valley.  God bless and prosper you."<ref>Kate B.

I may as well state here, however, that during all my stay in the States, [my wife and I] were nothing more to each other than friends.  I never proposed or hinted for a closer intimacy only on condition of her baptism into the Church.  I felt that I could not take her as a wife on any other terms and stand guiltless in the sight of God or my own conscience…I could not yield to her wishes and she would not bend to mine.  And so I merely visited her as a friend.  This was a source of wonder to our mutual acquaintances; and well it might be for had not my faith been founded on the eternal rock of Truth, I never could have stood such a test, I never could have withstood the temptations that assailed me, but I should have yielded and have abandoned myself to the life of carnal pleasure that awaited me in the arms of my beautiful and adored wife.  She was now indeed beautiful.  I had thought her lovely as a child—as a maiden she had seemed to me surpassing fair, but as a woman with a form well developed and all the charms of her persona matured, she far surpassed in womanly beauty anything I had ever dreamed of.<ref>Carter, ed., Isaiah M[oses] Coombs from His Diary and Journal, 350–351.</ref>

Coombs' account is startlingly blunt and explicit for the age.  Yet, if this young twenty-two-year-old male refused marital intimacy with his wife (whom he married knowing their religious differences), Compton's confidence that Sylvia Sessions would not deny marital relations to her excommunicated husband seems misplaced.  Sessions may, like Coombs, have seen her faithfulness to the sealing ordinances sufficient to "eventually either in this life or that which is to come enable me to bind my [spouse] to me in bands that could not be broken."  Like him, she may have believed that "[My spouse] was blind then but the day would come when [he] would see."<ref>Carter, ed., Isaiah M[oses] Coombs from His Diary and Journal, 339.</ref>

More importantly, however, is Brian Hales’ more recent work, which demonstrates that Sylvia Sessions Lyon may well have not been married to her husband when sealed to Joseph Smith, contrary to Compton’s conclusion. Thus, rather than being a case of polyandry with sexual relations with two men (Joseph and her first husband) Lyons is instead a case of straight-forward plural marriage.<ref>See {{Paper:Hales:Sylvia Sessions 2008|pages=41&ndash;57}} and {{Book:Hales:JS Polygamy 1/Full title|pages=349&ndash;376}}</ref> Given that Joseph has been ruled out as Josephine's father, it may be that Sylvia's emphasis to Josephine about being Joseph's "daughter" referred to a spiritual or sealing sense, and she wished to explain to her daughter why Josephine was, then, sealed to Joseph Smith rather than her biological father.

Clearly, Cannon has no independent knowledge of the case, but reports a story similar to Josephine's affidavit.

[the RLDS] seem surprised that there was no issue from asserted plural marriages with their father.  Could they but realize the hazardous life he lived, after that revelation was given, they would comprehend the reason.  He was harassed and hounded and lived in constant fear of being betrayed by those who ought to have been true to him.<ref>Lucy Walker Kimball, "Recollections," LDS Archives, 41; cited in {{Book:Bachman:Thesis:1975/Short|pages=139}}n165}} from Rodney W.

Anxious to demonstrate that Joseph's plural marriages were marriages in the fullest sense, Lucy M. Walker (wife of Joseph's cousin, George A. Smith) reported seeing Joseph washing blood from his hands in Nauvoo.  When asked about the blood, Joseph reportedly told her he had been helping Emma deliver one of his plural wives' children.<ref>{{Book:Bachman:Thesis:1975/Short|pages=140&ndash;141}}; citing Lucy M. Smith, written statement (18 May 1892), in Papers of George A. Smith family, Special Collections, Marriot Library, University of Utah, Salt Lake City.  Bachman notes that a second, undated, signed statement exists which tells "essentially the same story" in the Wilford C. Wood Museum in Bountiful, Utah. (See {{Book:Bachman:Thesis:1975/Short|pages=140&ndash;141n175}})</ref> Yet, even this late account tells us little about the paternity of the children—Joseph was close to these women (and their husbands, in the case of polyandry), and given the Saints' belief in priesthood blessings, they may have well welcomed his involvement.

Even by the turn of the century, the LDS Church had no solid evidence of children by Joseph.  "I knew he had three children," said Mary Elizabeth Lightner, "They told me.  I think two of them are living today but they are not known as his children as they go by other names."<ref>Mary Elizabeth Rollins Lightner, "Remarks," given at BYU 14 April 1905, typescript, BYU.</ref> Again, evidence for children is frustratingly vague—Lightner had only heard rumours, and could not provide any details.  It would seem to me, however, that this remark of Lightner's rules out her children as possible offspring of Joseph.  Her audience was clearly interested in Joseph having children, and she was happy to assert that such children existed.  If her own children qualified, why did she not mention them?

Scientific ingenuity has also been applied to the question of Joseph's paternity. Y-chromosome studies have conclusively eliminated Orrison Smith (son of Fanny Alger), Mosiah Hancock, Zebulon Jacobs, John Reed Hancock, Moroni Llewellyn Pratt, and Oliver Buell as Joseph's offspring.<ref>Ugo A. Perego and Scott R. Woodward, "Reconstructing the Y-Chromosome of Joseph Smith" (paper presented at the Mormon History Association Conference, 28 May 2005); see also Ugo A. Perego et al., "Reconstructing the Y-Chromosome of Joseph Smith Jr.: Genealogical Applications," Journal of Mormon History 32/ 2 (Summer 2005); Carrie A. Moore, "DNA Tests Rule out 2 as Smith Descendants," Deseret Morning News 10 November 2007):  Michael DeGroote, "DNA solves a Joseph Smith mystery," Deseret News (9 July 2011). Don Alonzo Smith was likewise ruled out; see letter from Perego to Hales on 6 December 2011 cited in {{Book:Hales:JS Polygamy 1|pages=296, note i}}</ref>

Two additional children—George Algernon Lightner and Orson W. Hyde—died in infancy, leaving no descendants to test, though as noted above Lightner can probably be excluded on the basis of his mother's testimony.
 
−
 
 
−
The testing of female descendants' DNA is much move involved, but work continues and may provide the only definitive means of ruling in or out potential children.
 
−
 
 
−
The case of Oliver Buell is an interesting one, since Fawn Brodie was insistent that he was Joseph's son. She based part of this argument on a photograph of Buell, which revealed a face which she claimed was "overwhelmingly on the side of Joseph's paternity."<ref>{{CriticalWork:Brodie:No Man Knows/Short|pages=301}} Brodie includes the picture between 298–299}}</ref> A conception on this date would make Oliver two to three weeks overdue at birth, which makes Brodie's theory less plausible.<ref>{{Book:Bachman:Thesis:1975/Short|pages=138}}</ref>  
 
−
 
 
−
Furthermore, prior the DNA results, Bachman and Compton pointed out that Brodie's timeline poses serious problems for her theory—Oliver's conception would have had to occurred between 16 April 1839 (when Joseph was allowed to escape during a transfer from Liberty Jail)<ref>{{Book:Smith:HC|vol=3|pages=320&ndash;321}}</ref> and 18 April, when the Huntingtons left Far West.<ref>{{Book:Compton:Brodie on JS Plural Wives/Short|pages=168–171}}</ref> Brodie would have Joseph travel west from his escape near Gallatin, Davies County, Missouri, to Far West in order to meet Lucinda, and then on to Illinois to the east.  This route would require Joseph and his companions to backtrack, while fleeing from custody in the face of an active state extermination order in force.<ref>See Clark V. Johnson, "Northern Missouri," in S. Kent Brown, Donald Q. Cannon, Richard H. Jackson (editors), Historical Atlas of Mormonism (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1994), 42}}</ref>  Travel to Far West would also require them to travel near the virulently anti-Mormon area of Haun's Mill, along Shoal Creek.<ref>{{Book:Compton:Brodie on JS Plural Wives/Short|pages=170}}</ref> Yet, by 22 April Joseph was in Illinois, having been slowed by travel "off from the main road as much as possible"<ref>{{Book:Smith:HC|pages=320–321|vol=3}}</ref> "both by night and by day."<ref>{{Book:Smith:HC|pages=327|vol=3}}</ref> This seems an implausible time for Joseph to be meeting a woman, much less conceiving a child.  Furthermore, it is evident that Far West was evacuated by other Church leaders, "the committee on removal," and not under the prophet’s direction, who did not regain the Saints until reaching Quincy, Illinois.<ref>{{Book:Smith:HC|pages=315, 319, 322_323, 327|vol=3}}</ref>
 
−
 
 
−
Brodie's inclusion of Oliver Buell is also inconsistent, since he was born prior to Joseph's sealing to Prescinda.  By including Oliver as a child, Brodie wishes to paint Joseph as an indiscriminate womanizer.  Yet, her theory of plural marriage argues that Joseph "had too much of the Puritan in him, and he could not rest until he had redefined the nature of sin and erected a stupendous theological edifice to support his new theories on marriage."<ref>{{CriticalWork:Brodie:No Man Knows/Short|pages=297}}</ref> Thus, Brodie argues that Joseph created plural marriage to justify his immorality—yet, she then has him conceiving a child with Prescinda before being sealed to her.  By her own argument, the paternity must therefore be seen as doubtful.<ref>{{Book:Bachman:Thesis:1975/Short|pages=138 makes similar points}}</ref>
 
−
 
 
−
Despite Brodie's enthusiasm, no other author has included Oliver on their list of possible children (see [[#Table_1|Table 1]]).  And, DNA evidence has conclusively ruled him out.  Oliver is an excellent example of Brodie's tendency to ignore and misread evidence which did not fit her preconceptions, and suggests that caution is warranted before one condemns Joseph for a pre-plural marriage "affair" or other improprieties.  Since Brodie was not interested in giving Joseph the benefit of the doubt, or avoiding a rush to judgment, her decision is not surprising.
 
−
 
 
−
John Reed Hancock is another of Brodie's suggestions, though no other author has followed her.  The evidence for Joseph having married Clarissa Reed Hancock is scant,<ref>See {{Book:Compton:Brodie on JS Plural Wives/Short|pages=164–165}}</ref> and as with Oliver Buell it is unlikely (even under Brodie's jaded theory of plural marriage as justification for adultery) that Joseph would have conceived a child with a woman to whom he was not polygamously married.  DNA testing has since confirmed our justified scepticism of Brodie's claim.<ref>Michael DeGroote, "DNA solves a Joseph Smith mystery," Deseret News (9 July 2011).</ref

−
=== John Hyrum Buell, Son of Prescinda Huntington Buell ===
 
−
 
 
−
Bachman mentions a "seventh child" of Prescinda's, likely John Hyrum Buell, for whom the timeline would better accommodate conception by Joseph Smith.  There is no other evidence for Joseph's paternity, however, save Ettie V. Smith's account in the anti-Mormon Fifteen Years Among the Mormons (1859), which claimed that Prescinda said she did not know whether Joseph or her first husband was John Hyrum's father.<ref>{{CriticalWork:Green:Fifteen Years/Full title|pages=34-35}}</ref> As Compton notes, such an admission is implausible, given the mores of the time.<ref>{{Book:Compton:Brodie on JS Plural Wives/Short|pages=166}}</ref>
 
−
 
 
−
Besides being implausible, Ettie gets virtually every other detail wrong—she insists that William Law, Robert Foster, and Henry Jacobs had all been sent on missions, only to return and find their wives being courted by Joseph.  Ettie then has them establish the Expositor.<ref>{{CriticalWork:Green:Fifteen Years|pages=34-35}}</ref> While Law and Foster were involved with the Expositor, they were not sent on missions, and their wives did not charge that Joseph had propositioned them.  Jacobs had served missions, but was present during Joseph's sealing to his wife, and did not object (see Chapter 9).  Jacobs was a faithful Saint unconnected to the Expositor.
 
−
 
−
Even the anti-Mormon Fanny Stenhouse considered Ettie Smith to be a writer who "so mixed up fiction with what was true, that it was difficult to determine where one ended and the other began,"<ref>{{CriticalWork:Stenhouse:Tell It All/Full title|pages=618, the footnote confirms the identity of the author as Ettie V. Smith.}} </ref> and a good example of how "the autobiographies of supposed Mormon women were [as] unreliable"<ref>{{CriticalWork:Stenhouse:Tell It All|pages=x}}</ref> as other Gentile accounts, given her tendency to "mingl[e] facts and fiction" "in a startling and sensational manner."<ref>{{CriticalWork:Stenhouse:Tell It All|pages=xi-xii}}</ref>
 
−
 
 
−
Brodie herself makes no mention of John Hyrum as a potential child (and carelessly misreads Ettie Smith's remarks as referring to Oliver, not John Hyrum).  No other historian has even mentioned this child, much less argued that Buell was not the father (see [[#Table_1|Table 1]]).
 
−
 
 
−
=== Scant evidence: Sarah Elizabeth Holmes, Hannah Ann Dibble, Loren Walker Dibble, Joseph Albert Smith, and Carolyn Delight ==
 
−
 
 
−
A few other possibilities should be mentioned, though the evidence surrounding them is tenuous. Sarah Elizabeth Holmes was born to Marietta Carter, though "No evidence links her with Joseph Smith."<ref>{{Book:Hales:JS Polygamy 1|pages=298}}</ref> The Dibble children suffer from chronology problems, and a lack of good evidence that Joseph and their mother was associated. Loren Dibble was, however, claimed by some Mormons as a child of Joseph’s when confronted with Joseph Smith III’s skepticism.<ref>{{Book:Hales:JS Polygamy 1|pages=298}} Hales cites Joseph Smith III to Bro. E.C. Brand, 26 January 1894, 65}}</ref
 
−
 
 
−
Joseph Albert Smith was born to Esther Dutcher, but the available evidence supports her polyandrous sealing to Joseph as for eternity only. Carolyn Delight has no evidence at all of a connection to Joseph—the only source is a claim to Ugo Perego, a modern DNA researcher.<ref>{{Book:Hales:JS Polygamy 1|pages=298}}</ref> No textual or documentary evidence is known for her at all.

=== Fanny Alger and Eliza R. Snow: Miscarriages? ===
 
−
 
 
−
We have elsewhere seen the tenuous basis for many conclusions about the Fanny Alger marriage (see [[Polygamy_book/Introduction_of_eternal_marriage|here]] and [[Joseph_Smith/Polygamy/Fanny_Alger_and_William_McLellin|here]]).  The first mention of a pregnancy for Fanny is in an 1886 anti-Mormon work, citing Chauncey Webb, with whom Fanny reportedly lived after leaving the Smith home.<ref>{{CriticalWork:Wyl:Mormon Portraits Volume First|pages=57}} {{CriticalWork:Young:Wife No. 19/Full title|pages=66–67}} Discussed in {{Book:Bachman:Thesis:1975/Short|pages=140}} Also in {{Book:Compton:ISL/Short|pages=34–35}}</ref> Webb claimed that Emma "drove" Fanny from the house because she "was unable to conceal the consequences of her celestial relation with the prophet."  If Fanny was pregnant, it is curious that no one else remarked upon it at the time, though it is possible that the close quarters of a nineteenth-century household provided Emma with clues.  If Fanny was pregnant by Joseph, the child never went to term, died young, or was raised under a different name
 
−
 
 
−
A family tradition—repeated by anti-Mormon Wyl—holds that Eliza R. Snow was pregnant and shoved down the stairs by a jealous Emma before being required to leave the Smith home.<ref>{{Book:Compton:ISL/Short|pages=314–315}}</ref>  The tradition holds that Eliza, "heavy with child" subsequently miscarried.  While Eliza was required to leave the home and Emma was likely upset with her, no contemporary evidence points to a pregnancy.<ref>This bit of folklore is explored in Maureen Ursenbach Beecher et al., "Emma and Eliza and the Stairs," Brigham Young University Studies 22/ 1 (Fall 1982): 86–96}}  RLDS author Richard Price also argues that the physical layout of the Mansion House makes the story as reported by Charles C. Rich unlikely, in "Eliza Snow Was Not Pushed Down the Mansion House Stairs," in Richard Price. "Joseph Smith Fought Polygamy: How Men Nearest the Prophet Attached Polygamy to His Name in Order to Justify Their Own Polygamous Crimes." (n.p.: Price Publishing Company, 2001), chapter 9 <http://restorationbookstore.org/jsfp-index.htm >  Price's dogmatic insistence that Joseph never taught plural marriage, however, cannot be sustained by the evidence.</ref>  Eliza's diary says nothing about the loss of a child, which would be a strange omission given her love of children.<ref>See discussion in {{Book:Bachman:Thesis:1975/Short|pages=140n73}}</ref>  It seems unlikely that Eliza would have still been teaching school in an advanced state of pregnancy, especially given that her appearance as a pregnant "unwed mother" would have been scandalous in Nauvoo.  Emma's biographers note that "Eliza continued to teach school for a month after her abrupt departure from the Smith household.  Her own class attendance record shows that she did not miss a day during the months she taught the Smith children, which would be unlikely had she suffered a miscarriage."<ref>{{Book:Newell Avery:Mormon Engima 2|pages=136}}</ref>  Given Emma's treatment of the Partridge sisters, who were also required to leave the Smith household, Emma certainly needed no pregnancy to raise her ire against Joseph's plural wives.
 
−
 
 
−
Eliza repeatedly testified to the physical nature of her relationship with Joseph Smith (see Chapter 9), and was not shy about criticizing Emma on the subject of plural marriage.<ref>See, for example, Eliza R. Snow, ''Woman's Exponent'' 8 (1 November 1879): 85: "So far as Sister Emma personally is concerned, I would gladly have been silent and let her memory rest in peace, had not her misguided son, through a sinister policy, branded her name with gross wickedness [by quoting her as denying plural marriage]."</ref>  Yet, she never reported having been pregnant, or used her failed pregnancy as evidence for the reality of plural marriage.

In the absence of further information, both of these reported pregnancies must be regarded as extremely speculative.

== What did the husband of Sylvia Sessions know about her sealing to Joseph Smith for eternity? ==
 
−
=== Sylvia was married to Windsor Lyon by Joseph Smith in Nauvoo, and was sealed to Joseph Smith at some point after she was married ===
 
−
 
 
−
Sylvia was married to Windsor Lyon by Joseph Smith in Nauvoo. She was sealed to Joseph Smith at some point after she was married. Brian Hales notes that , "This marriage triangle is unique among all of the Prophet’s plural marriages because there is strong evidence that Sylvia bore children to both men. She became pregnant by Windsor Lyon in October of 1838, September of 1840, and April of 1842. Then a year later became pregnant with a daughter (named Josephine—born February 8, 1844) that was purportedly fathered by the Prophet." Sylvia's daughter, who had the intriguing name "Josephine," made the following statement
 
−
 
 
−
<blockquote>
 
−
Just prior to my mothers [Sylvia Sessions Lyon] death in 1882 she called me to her bedside and told me that her days on earth were about numbered and before she passed away from mortality she desired to tell me something which she had kept as an entire secret fro me and from others until no but which she now desired to communicate to me. She then told me that I was the daughter of the Prophet Joseph Smith, she having been sealed to the Prophet at the time that her husband Mr. Lyon had was out of fellowship with the Church.

=== Daughter Josephine was proven not to be a daughter of Joseph Smith, Jr. through DNA analysis ===
 
−
 
 
−
For many years, Josephine appeared to be the only viable candidate as a child of Joseph Smiths "polyandrous" sealings. However, DNA analysis ultimately disproved the paternity claim: Josephine was not a descendant of Joseph Smith, Jr.<ref>R. Scott Lloyd, "[http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865656112/Joseph-Smith-apparently-was-not-Josephine-Lyons-father-Mormon-History-Association-speaker-says.html?pg=all "Joseph Smith apparently was not Josephine Lyon's father, Mormon History Association speaker says,"] ''Deseret News'' (13 June 2016) </ref

=== Sylvia may have considered herself divorced from Windsor after he was excommunicated from the Church ===
 
−
 
 
−
It appears, however, that Sylvia may have considered herself divorced from Windsor after he was excommunicated from the Church and left Nauvoo. Hales points out that "Currently, no documentation of a legal divorce between Windsor and Sylvia after his excommunication has been found. However, in the mid-nineteenth century, religious laws often trumped legal proceedings. Stanley B. Kimball observed: 'Some church leaders at that time considered civil marriage by non-Mormon clergymen to be as unbinding as their baptisms. Some previous marriages . . . were annulled simply by ignoring them.'" <ref>Brian and Laura Hales, "Sylvia Sessions," josephsmithspolygamy.org {{link|url=http://josephsmithspolygamy.org/plural-wives-overview/sylvia-sessions/}}</ref> The sealing to Joseph occurred after Windor's excommunication. Andrew Jenson, in his historical record, referred to Sylvia as a "formerly the wife of Windsor Lyons." <ref>Andrew Jenson Papers, MS 17956, CHL, box 49, folder 16. </ref> There is no known evidence that Windsor lived with Sylvia after he returned to Nauvoo, but Sylvia did "rejoin" Windsor after he was rebaptised in 1846. Hales states, "No details are available to clarify what authority was used to reconfirm the marriage relationship between Sylvia and Windsor after their previous marital separation. Most likely the couple consulted with Brigham Young or Heber C. Kimball, who authorized their rejoining. Whether a private religious marriage ceremony for time was performed or the couple resumed observing their legal marriage is unknown. Importantly, even with the renewed conjugality between Windsor and Sylvia after Joseph Smith’s death, no evidence has been found to support her involvement in sexual polyandry at any time." <ref>Brian and Laura Hales, "Sylvia Sessions," Note 28 josephsmithspolygamy.org {{link|url=http://josephsmithspolygamy.org/plural-wives-overview/sylvia-sessions/#link_ajs-fn-id_28-5660}}</ref>

== Did Prescindia Buell (or Sarah Pratt, or Mrs. Hyde) not know who was the father of her son? ==
 
−
=== The source for this claim is a notoriously unreliable anti-Mormon work. It makes several errors of fact in the very paragraph in which the claim is made ===
 
−

It is claimed that Prescindia Lathrop Huntington Buell admitted that she did not know who was the father of her child&mdash;Joseph Smith or her first husband. Sometimes Sarah Pratt (wife of apostle Orson Pratt) is mistakenly identified as the woman in this story. <ref> This type of error is not new in later anti-Mormon documents. An 1884 document claiming to be by Sarah Pratt (who was by then antagonistic to the Church) describes her as the wife of "Orson Hyde," rather than "Orson Pratt." This error is corrected three times, but the error stands in three other cases. See discussion in {{Book:Hales:JS Polygamy 1/Full title|pages=577}} The document cited is [Anonymous], "Workings of Mormonism Related By Mrs. Orson Pratt," typescript of holograph, MS 4048, LDS Church History Library. Sarah Pratt's role, if any, in creating the document is not known. (See Hales, 2:462).</ref>  Others sometimes mention Orson ''Hyde's wife as the source of this rumor. <ref>{{CriticalWork:Brodie:No Man Knows|pages=298&ndash;299, 308, 345}}; {{CriticalWork:Green:Fifteen Years/Full title|pages=[http://books.google.ca/books?id=FT4qAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA34&lpg=PA35#v=onepage&q&f=false 34&ndash;35]}}; {{CriticalWork:Smith:Nauvoo Polygamy|pages=82}}</ref>

The source for this claim is a notoriously unreliable anti-Mormon work. It makes several errors of fact in the very paragraph in which the claim is made.
 
−
 
 
−
It is implausible that the supposed admission upon which the claim is based would be made. There are major historical problems of geography and timeline for Joseph to have even been a ''potential'' father of Buell's child.
 
−
 
 
−
The claim cannot be substantiated.

=== Is the source reliable? ===
 
−
 
 
−
This book was written by Nelson Winch Green, who reported what estranged member Marry Ettie V. Coray Smith reportedly told him
 
−
 
 
−
Even other anti-Mormon authors who had lived in Utah regarded it as nearly worthless. Fanny Stenhouse wrote:
 
−
 
 
−
<blockquote>
 
−
Much has already been written on this subject much that is in accordance with facts, and much that is exaggerated and false. Hitherto, with but one exception [Mrs. Ettie V. Smith is noted in the footnote as the work referred to] that of a lady who wrote very many years ago, and who in her writings, so mixed up fiction with what was true, that it was difficult to determine where the one ended and the other began no woman who really was a Mormon and lived in Polygamy ever wrote the history of her own personal experience. Books have been published, and narratives have appeared in the magazines and journals, purporting to be written by Mormon wives; it is, however, perhaps, unnecessary for me to state that, notwithstanding such narratives may be imposed upon the Gentile world as genuine, that they were written by persons outside the Mormon faith would in a moment be detected by any intelligent Saint who took the trouble to peruse them. <ref>{{CriticalWork:Stenhouse:Tell It All|pages=618}}</ref
 
−
</blockquote>
 
−
 
 
−
So, we must remember that this work is not regarded as generally reliable today, and it was not regarded as reliable even by the Church's enemies in the 19th century.
 
−
 
 
−
=== The claim ===
 
−
 
 
−
The source for this claim is an anti-Mormon book. The relevant passage reads:
 
−
 
 
−
<blockquote>
 
−
The Prophet had sent some time before this, three men, Law, Foster and Jacobs, on missions, and they had just returned, and found their wives blushing under the prospective honors of spiritual wifeism; and another woman, Mrs. Buel [sic], had left her husband, a Gentile, to grace the Prophet's retinue, on horseback, when he reviewed the Nauvoo Legion. I heard the latter woman say afterwards in Utah, that she did not know whether Mr. Buel [sic] or the Prophet was the father of her son. These men [Law, Foster and Jacobs] established a press in Nauvoo, to expose his alleged vicious teachings and practices, which a revelation from Joseph destroyed. <ref>{{CriticalWork:Green:Fifteen Years/Full title|pages=[http://books.google.ca/books?id=FT4qAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA34&lpg=PA35#v=onepage&q&f=false 34&ndash;35]}}</ref>
 
−
</blockquote>
 
−
 
 
−
=== Errors of fact ===
 
−
As might be expected, then, there are many claims in this passage that are in error. We ''know'' that the following are false
 
−
 
 
−
* Ettie Smith claims that William Law, Robert D. Foster, and Henry Jacobs were on missions and that Joseph had proposed plural marriage to them. Law and Foster, in fact, never served missions. Henry Jacobs did serve a mission, but he [[Polygamy_book/Polyandry#Zina_Diantha_Huntington_Jacobs|was not gone on a mission]] when Joseph discussed plural marriage.
 
−
* Foster and Law did participate in publishing the ''[[Nauvoo Expositor]]'', but Henry Jacobs did not. He was and remained a faithful member of the Church.
 
−
* The destruction of the ''Nauvoo Expositor'' was undertaken by the Nauvoo city council. Some members of that council were not members of the Church&mdash;it seems implausible to think that they would bow to a "revelation" to Joseph requiring its destruction. The decision was made, instead, after 8 hours of discussion and after consulting legal references.
 
−
 
 
−
Thus, in the single paragraph we have several basic errors of fact. Why should we believe the gossip of what Mrs. Buell is claimed to have said?

−
=== Such an admission would be out of character for a believing Utah woman of the 19th century ===
 
−
 
 
−
Furthermore, such an admission would be out of character for a believing Utah woman of the 19th century. As Todd Compton notes
 
−
 
 
−
<blockquote>
 
−
Talk of sexuality was avoided by the Victorian, puritanical Mormons; in diaries, the word 'pregnant' or 'expecting' is never or rarely used. Women are merely 'sick' until they have a child. Polyandry was rarely discussed openly by Mormon women. <ref>{{Book:Compton:Brodie on JS Plural Wives|pages=166}}</ref>
 
−
</blockquote>
 
−
 
 
−
=== It is difficult for Joseph to have even had contact with her at the proper time to conceive a child ===
 
−
 
 
−
Fawn Brodie painted a fanciful scenario in which Joseph would have been able to potentially father a Buell child. However, she misread the historical information, and it is difficult, as Todd Compton has demonstrated, for Joseph to have even had contact with her at the proper time to conceive a child. <ref>{{Book:Compton:ISL|pages=670&ndash;673}} {{Book:Compton:Brodie on JS Plural Wives/Short|pages=166&ndash;170}}</ref> This would suggest that there were no grounds for Mrs. Buell&mdash;or a modern reader&mdash;to conclude that Joseph might have been the father.

== Did Joseph Smith father children by polyandrous plural wife Prescindia Buell? ==
 
−
=== All those who have been definitively DNA tested so far—Oliver Buell, Mosiah Hancock, Zebulon Jacobs, Moroni Pratt, and Orrison Smith—have been excluded as children of Joseph Smith ===
 
−
 
 
−
''Nauvoo Polygamy'' author George D. Smith tells his readers that "until decisive DNA testing of possible [Joseph] Smith descendants—daughters as well as sons—from plural wives can be accomplished, ascertaining whether Smith fathered children with any of his plural wives remains hypothetical" (pp. 228–29, cf. p. 473). This is true, but G. D. Smith fails to tell us that all those who have been definitively tested so far—Oliver Buell, Mosiah Hancock, Zebulon Jacobs, Moroni Pratt, and Orrison Smith—have been excluded. Would he have neglected, I wonder, to mention a positive DNA test?
 
−
 
 
−
The consequences of George D. Smith's less-than-rigorous approach to sources becomes clear in the case of Oliver Buell, son of Presendia.<ref>Presendia’s name is also spelled ''Presenda'' or ''Prescindia'' in contemporary documents. We here use the spelling adopted by her autobiography, also followed by Compton and G. D. Smith.</ref>  Huntington Buell, one of Joseph’s polyandrous plural wives. Fawn Brodie was the [[No Man Knows My History/Index#345|first to suggest that Oliver Buell was Joseph’s son]], and she was so convinced (based on photographic evidence)<ref>{{CriticalWork:Brodie:No Man Knows|pages=301. Brodie includes the picture between 298–99}}  that she wrote, "If Oliver Buell isn’t a Smith then I’m no Brimhall," which was her mother’s name.</ref>Fawn Brodie to Dale Morgan, Letter, 24 March 1945, Dale Morgan papers, Marriott Library, University of Utah; cited by {{Book:Compton:Brodie on JS Plural Wives|pages=166}}</ref>  In a footnote, G. D. Smith notes that Todd Compton "considers it improbable that Joseph and Presendia would have found time together during the brief window of opportunity after his release from prison in Missouri" (p. 80 n. 63).<ref>Citing {{Book:Compton:ISL|pages=670, 673}}</ref>

=== The geography ===
 
−
 
 
−
This slight nod toward an opposite point of view is inadequate, however. G. D. Smith does not mention and hence does not confront the strongest evidence. Compton’s argument against Joseph’s paternity does not rest just on a "narrow window" of opportunity but on the fact that Brodie seriously misread the geography required by that window. It is not merely a question of dates. Brodie would have Joseph travel west from his escape near Gallatin, Davies County, Missouri, to Far West in order to meet Lucinda, and then on to Illinois toward the east. This route would require Joseph and his companions to backtrack while fleeing from custody in the face of an active state extermination order.<ref>See Clark V. Johnson, "Northern Missouri," in ''Historical Atlas of Mormonism'', ed. S. Kent Brown, Donald Q. Cannon, and Richard H. Jackson (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1994), 42.</ref> Travel to Far West would also require them to travel near the virulently anti-Mormon area of Haun’s Mill, along Shoal Creek.<ref>{{Book:Compton:Brodie on JS Plural Wives/Short|pages=170}}</ref>  Yet by April 22 Joseph was in Illinois, having been slowed by traveling "off from the main road as much as possible"<ref name="hc">{{HoC1|vol=3}}</ref>{{Rp|320-321}}  "both by night and by day."<ref name="hc"></ref>{{Rp|327}}  This seems an implausible time for Joseph to be conceiving a child. Furthermore, it is evident that Far West was evacuated by other church leaders, "the committee on removal," and not under the Prophet’s direction. Joseph did not regain the Saints until reaching Quincy, Illinois, contrary to Brodie’s misreading.<ref name="hc"></ref>{{Rp|315, 319, 322-23, 327}}  Timing is the least of the problems with G. D. Smith’s theory

Despite Brodie’s enthusiasm, few other authors have included Oliver on their list of possible children.<ref>The following all fail to include Oliver Buell as a potential child of Joseph’s: Danel Bachman, "Mormon Practice of Polygamy," 137–38; Van Wagoner, ''Mormon Polygamy'', 43–44 and 43 n. 43; Lawrence Foster, ''Religion and Sexuality'' (New York: Oxford University Press, 1984), 157–58; Gary James Bergera, "Identifying the Earliest Mormon Polygamists, 1841–44," ''Dialogue'' 38/3 (Fall 2005): 49–50 n. 115. </ref>  With so many authors ranged against him, G. D. Smith ought not to act as if Compton’s analysis is merely about dates.

=== The DNA ===

G. D. Smith also soft-pedals the most vital evidence—the DNA.<ref>Carrie A. Moore, "DNA tests rule out 2 as Smith descendants," ''Deseret Morning News'', (10 November 2007), {{link|url=http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,695226318,695226300.html}} (accessed 2 December 2008); Ugo A. Perego et al., "Resolving the Paternities of Oliver N. Buell and Mosiah L. Hancock through DNA," ''The John Whitmer Historical Association Journal'' 28 (2008): 128–36. For background information, see Ugo A. Perego and Scott R. Woodward, "Reconstructing the Y-Chromosome of Joseph Smith" (paper presented at the Mormon History Association Conference, 28 May 2005); Ugo A. Perego et al., "Reconstructing the Y-Chromosome of Joseph Smith Jr.: Genealogical Applications," ''Journal of Mormon History'' 32/2 (Summer 2005): 70–88.</ref> He makes no mention in the main text that Oliver’s paternity has been [[Joseph Smith and polygamy/Children of polygamous marriages#Buell|definitively ruled out by DNA testing]]. This admission is confined to a footnote, and its impact is minimized by its placement. After noting Compton’s disagreement with the main text’s suggestion that Oliver might be Joseph’s son, G. D. Smith writes, "There is no DNA connection," and cites a ''Deseret News'' article. He immediately follows this obtuse phrasing with a return to Compton, who finds it "‘unlikely, though not impossible, that Joseph Smith was the actual father of another Buell child,’ John Hiram, Presendia’s seventh child during her marriage to Buell and born in November 1843" (p. 80 n. 63). Thus the most salient fact—that Joseph is certainly not Oliver's father—is sandwiched between a vicarious discussion with Compton about whether Oliver or John could be Joseph’s sons. Since G. D. Smith knows there is definitive evidence against Joseph’s paternity in Oliver’s case, why mention the debate at all only to hide the answer in the midst of a long endnote? That Brodie is so resoundingly rebutted on textual, historical, and genetic grounds provides a cautionary lesson in presuming that her certainty counts for much.<ref>Elsewhere G. D. Smith actually uses an appeal to the fact that Brodie was persuaded by a tale as evidence! (p. 131).</ref

=== Maybe another Buell child? ===
 
−
 
 
−
Two pages later, G. D. Smith again tells us of a Buell child being sealed to a proxy for Joseph with "wording [that] hints that it might have been Smith’s child." "It is not clear," he tells us, "which of her children it might have been" (p. 82). In fact, what is clear is that he has not assimilated the implications of the DNA data. John Hiram, the seventh child about whom Compton is skeptical, is the only other option. Yet the only evidence for this child belonging to Joseph is Ettie V. Smith’s account in the anti-Mormon Fifteen Years among the Mormons (1859), which claimed that Presendia said she did not know whether Joseph or her first husband was John Hiram’s father.<ref>{{CriticalWork:Green:Fifteen Years|pages=34-35}}</ref> As Compton notes, such an admission is implausible, given the mores of the time.<ref>Compton, "Fawn Brodie on Joseph Smith’s Plural Wives," 166.</ref>
 
−
 
 
−
Besides being implausible, Ettie’s account gets virtually every other detail wrong—insisting that William Law, Robert Foster, and Henry Jacobs had all been sent on missions only to return to find Joseph preaching plural marriage. Ettie then has them establish the ''Expositor''.<ref>Green, ''Fifteen Years'', 34–35.</ref>  While Law and Foster were involved with the Expositor, they were not sent on missions. Jacobs had served missions but was a faithful Saint unconnected to the ''Expositor''. He was also, contrary to Ettie’s claims, present when Joseph was sealed polyandrously to his (Jacobs’s) wife.
 
−
 
 
−
Even the anti-Mormon Fanny Stenhouse considered Ettie Smith to be a writer who "so mixed up fiction with what was true, that it was difficult to determine where one ended and the other began,"<ref name="tell it">{{CriticalWork:Stenhouse:Tell It All/Full title|pages=The footnote confirms the identity of the author as Ettie V. Smith}}</ref>{{Rp|618}}  and a good example of how "the autobiographies of supposed Mormon women were [as] unreliable"<ref name="tell it"></ref>{{Rp|x}}  as other Gentile accounts, given her tendency to "mingl[e] facts and fiction" "in a startling and sensational manner."<ref name="tell it"></ref>{{Rp|xi-xii}}
 
−
 
 
−
Brodie herself makes no mention of John Hiram as a potential child, going so far as to carelessly misread Ettie Smith’s remarks as referring to Oliver, not John Hiram. No other historian has argued that Buell was not the father.<ref>See Bachman, "Plural marriage," 139; Van Wagoner, ''Mormon Polygamy'', 43–44 and 43 n. 43; Lawrence Foster, ''Religion and Sexuality: The Shakers, the Mormons, and the Oneida Community'' (New York: Oxford University Press, 1984), 157–58; Compton, "Fawn Brodie on Joseph Smith’s Plural Wives," 167; Gary James Bergera, "Identifying the Earliest Mormon Polygamists, 1841–44," ''Dialogue'' 38/3 (Fall 2005): 49–50 n. 115.</ref> There is no good evidence whatever that any of Presendia’s children were Joseph’s. It is not clear why G. D. Smith clings to the idea.

Few authors agree on which children should even be considered as Joseph's potential children. Candidates which some find overwhelmingly likely are dismissed—or even left unmentioned—by others.  Recent scholars have included between one to four potential children as options.  Of these, Josephine Lyon was the most persuasive, until her relationship to Joseph Smith was ultimately disproven through DNA testing.  Orson W. Hyde died in infancy, and so can never be definitively excluded as a possible child, though the dates of conception argue against Joseph's paternity. Oliver Gray Frost is mentioned in two sources as having a child by Joseph. Both she and the child died in Nauvoo, so no genetic evidence will ever be forthcoming.<ref>{{Book:Hales:JS Polygamy 1/Full title|pages=298}}</ref>

=== Conclusions ===
 
−
As always, we are left where we began—with more suspicions and possibilities than certitudes.  One's attitude toward Joseph and the Saints will influence, more than anything else, how these conflicting data are interpreted.
 
−
 
 
−
The uncertainty surrounding Joseph's offspring is even more astonishing when we appreciate how much such a child would have been valued.  The Utah Church of the 19th century was anxious to prove that Joseph had practiced full plural marriage, and that their plural families merely continued what he started.  Any child of Joseph's would have been treasured, and the family honoured.  There was a firm expectation that even Joseph's sons by Emma would have an exalted place in the LDS hierarchy if they were to repent and return to the Church.<ref>See, for example, Brigham Young, "I have a Few Times in My Life Undertaken to Preach to a Traveling Congregation, but My Sermons have been Very Short, and Far Between," (7 October 1866) from Brigham Young Addresses, 1865–1869, A Chronological Compilation of Known Addresses of the Prophet Brigham Young, edited by Elden J. Watson (Salt Lake City), Vol. 5; cited in The Essential Brigham Young, 187–191; Brigham Young, "Increase of the Saints Since Joseph Smith's Death, &c.," (24 August 1872) reported by David W. Evans, Journal of Discourses Vol. 15 (London: Latter-day Saint's Book Depot, 1873), 136}}</ref>  As Alma Allred noted, "Susa Young Gates indicated that [Brigham Young] wasn’t aware of such a child when she wrote that her father and the other apostles were especially grieved that Joseph did not have any issue in the Church."<ref>{{Paper:Allred:Review of ISL}}</ref>
 
−
 
 
−
In 1884, George Q. Cannon bemoaned this lack of Joseph's posterity:
 
−
 
 
−
<blockquote>
 
−
There may be faithful men who will have unfaithful sons, who may not be as faithful as they might be; but faithful posterity will come, just as I believe it will be the case with the Prophet Joseph's seed. To-day he has not a soul descended from him personally, in this Church. There is not a man bearing the Holy Priesthood, to stand before our God in the Church that Joseph was the means in the hands of God, of founding—not a man to-day of his own blood,—that is, by descent,—to stand before the Lord, and represent him among these Latter-day Saints.<ref>{{JDmini|author=George Q. Cannon|vol=25|pages=369|date=19 Oct 1884}}</ref>
 
−
</blockquote>
 
−
 
 
−
Brigham and Cannon, a member of the First Presidency, would have known of Joseph's offspring if any of the LDS leadership did.  Yet, despite the religious and public relations value which such a child would have provided, they knew of none.  It is possible that Joseph had children by his plural wives, but by no means certain.  The data are surprisingly ephemeral.

== Was the only purpose of polygamy to "multiply and replenish the earth" and "bear the souls of men"? ==
 
−
=== Doctrine and Covenants states that polygamy is for the purpose of multiplying and replenishing the earth ===
 
−
Doctrine and Covenants {{sv||D&C|132|63}} states,
 
−
<blockquote>
 
−
But if one or either of the ten virgins, after she is espoused, shall be with another man, she has committed adultery, and shall be destroyed; for they are given unto him to multiply and replenish the earth, according to my commandment, and to fulfil the promise which was given by my Father before the foundation of the world, and for their exaltation in the eternal worlds, that they may bear the souls of men; for herein is the work of my Father continued, that he may be glorified.

</blockquote>
 
−
 
 
−
=== The institution of the practice of polygamy was part of the "restoration of all things" ===
 
−
 
 
−
Polygamy was not permitted ''only'' for the purpose of procreation. Joseph established the practice of plural marriage as part of the "restoration of all things," (D&C 132: 40, 45) and introduced it to a number of others within the Church. This alone may have been the purpose of Joseph's initiation of the practice. The establishment of the practice ultimately ''did'' have the effect of "raising up seed"...just not through Joseph Smith.
 
−
 
 
−
As Brian Hales writes:
 
−
<blockquote>
 
−
Joseph Smith dictated what is now Doctrine and Covenant section 132 on July 12, 1843. This revelation, along with his other statements, provide several reasons why he believed plural marriage could be introduced among the Latter-day Saints.
 
−
The earliest justification mentioned by the Prophet was as a part of the "restitution of all things" prophesied in Acts 3:19–21. Old Testament prophets practiced polygamy, so it could be a part of the restoration of "all things" (see D&C 132:40, 45).
 
−
 
 
−
Several members who knew Joseph Smith left accounts of him referring to a connection between the two during the Kirtland period.
 
−
 
 
−
Benjamin F. Johnson recalled in 1903: "In 1835 at Kirtland I learned from my Sisters Husband, Lyman R. Shirman,<ref>Sherman was a close friend and devout follower of Joseph Smith. He was called as an apostle but died before learning of the appointment. See Lyndon W. Cook, "Lyman Sherman—Man of God, Would-Be Apostle," 121–24. </ref> who was close to the Prophet, and Received it from him. That the ancient order of plural marriage was again to be practiced by the Church."<ref>Dean R. Zimmerman, I Knew the Prophets: An Analysis of the Letter of Benjamin F. Johnson to George F. Gibbs (Bountiful, Utah: Horizon, 1976), 37–38.</ref>

A few years later in 1841, Joseph Smith attempted to broach the topic publicly. Helen Mar Kimball remembered: "He [Joseph] astonished his hearers by preaching on the restoration of all things, and said that as it was anciently with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, so it would be again, etc."<ref>Helen Mar Whitney, Plural Marriage as Taught by the Prophet Joseph: A Reply to Joseph Smith [III], Editor of the Lamoni Iowa "Herald," (Salt Lake City: Juvenile Instructor Office, 1882), 11; see also Jeni Broberg Holzapfel and Richard Neitzel Holzapfel, eds., A Woman’s View: Helen Mar Whitney’s Reminiscences of Early Church History (Provo, Utah: Bookcraft, 1992), 142–43. See also Joseph A. Kelting, "Affidavit," March 1, 1894, images 11–16a; see also Kelting, "Statement," Juvenile Instructor 29 (May 1, 1894): 289–90. </ref> Joseph Smith was a prophet-restorer, which helps to explain why the command to practice plural marriage has been labeled a "restoration," even though it is not a salvific ordinance.<ref>Brian Hales, "Plural Marriage Teachings" <http://josephsmithspolygamy.org/theology/joseph-smiths-teachings/#back_ajs-fn-id_4-56> (accessed 18 December 2018)</ref>

=== The institution of the practice of polygamy made available the blessings of eternal marriage to everyone ===
 
−
Brian Hales addresses one aspect of D&C 132 that may be overlooked in casual readings:
 
−
 
 
−
<blockquote>
 
−
The fourth reason Joseph Smith gave for the practice of plural marriage dwarfs the other three explanations in significance because it deals with eternity. The message of D&C 132:16–17 states that men and women who are not sealed in eternal marriages during this life (or vicariously later) "remain separately and singly, without exaltation, in their saved condition, to all eternity."
 
−
In other words, "exaltation," the highest salvation, requires eternal marriage. No unmarried person can be exalted according to Joseph Smith’s teachings.
 
−
Doctrine and Covenants section 132 seems to anticipate more worthy women than men as it approves a plurality of wives<ref>See vv. 34, 37–39, 52, 55, 61–65.</ref>
 
−
and disallows a plurality of husbands.<ref>See vv. 41–42, 61–63.</ref>
 
−
Verse 63 states that a plurality of wives is "for their [the wives] exaltation in the eternal worlds."
 
−
Section 132 supports that eternity was the primary focus of the Joseph’s marriage theology rather than plurality or sexuality. Eternal, rather than plural, marriage was his zenith doctrine. It appears that the crucial objective of polygamy on earth was to allow all worthy women to be eternally sealed to a husband and thus obtain all the ordinances needed for exaltation.
 
−
According to these teachings, a plurality of wives in some form may be practiced in eternity, but not by all worthy men and women. We know that polygamy on earth is unequal and difficult, but we know nothing about how eternal marriage or eternal plural marriage might feel in eternity.
 
−
Brigham Young acknowledged that eternal marriage (not plural marriage) is "the thread which runs from the beginning to the end" in God’s plan for His children:
 
−
 
 
−
<blockquote>
 
−
The whole subject of the marriage [not plural marriage] relation is not in my reach, nor in any other man’s reach on this earth. It is without beginning of days or end of years; it is a hard matter to reach. We can tell some things with regard to it; it lays the foundation for worlds, for angels, and for the Gods; for intelligent beings to be crowned with glory, immortality, and eternal lives. In fact, it is the thread which runs from the beginning to the end of the holy Gospel of salvation—of the Gospel of the Son of God; it is from eternity to eternity.<ref>Brigham Young, October 6, 1854 Journal of Discourses, 2:90. Important in Brigham Young’s comments is his observation that the "marriage relation," referring to eternal marriage, not exclusively plural marriage, comprises the "foundation for worlds … and for Gods."</ref><ref>Brian Hales, "Plural Marriage Teachings" <http://josephsmithspolygamy.org/theology/joseph-smiths-teachings/#link_ajs-fn-id_16-56> (accessed 17 December 2018)</ref>
 
−
</blockquote></blockquote>
 
−
 
 
−
=== Can this be included in the interpretation of D&C 132: 63? ===
 
−
Another author commenting on this verse made a compelling case for this theology being put into D&C 132: 63:
 
−
 
 
−
<blockquote>
 
−
Here is the text in its entirety, from verse 62: "for they are given unto him to multiply and replenish the earth, according to my commandment, <b>and</b> to fulfil the promise which was given by my Father before the foundation of the world, <b>and</b> for their exaltation in the eternal worlds, that they may bear the souls of men." [Emphasis added.]
 
−
You want to get legalistic? Let’s get legalistic. Just for fun, let’s parse the living snot out of this.This clause begins with multiplying and replenishing as a primary justification. Then we get the word "and" thrown in there. You’re reading this as if it says "they are given unto him to multiply and replenish the earth, according to my commandment, in order to fulfil the promise…"
 
−
But that’s not what it says.
 
−
 
 
−
"And" suggests we’re about to get a second reason, not a clarification of the first. In fact, a tight, strict-constructionist reading of this verse reveals three different and distinct reasons for plural marriage, not "only" the replenishment of the earth, [. . .]So let’s review the three reasons:<br>
 
−
 
 
−
1. Multiply and replenish the earth. 
 
−
<br>
 
−
[. . .] D&C 132 is unequivocal on this point, just as it is unequivocal on the two points that follow.<br>
 
−
 
 
−
2. Fulfil [sic] "the promise which was given by my Father before the foundation of the world."<br>
 
−
 
 
−
What promise? This seems to have reference to the "restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began." (Acts 3:21) Joseph cited the need to restore ancient practices to prepare for the Second Coming as a justification for polygamy, and this verse provides a credible scriptural context for him to do so. So just relying on this phrase – plural marriage is acceptable because it fulfills God’s promises – would be justification enough for the practice, at least according to D&C 132.
 
−
<br>
 
−
3. For "their exaltation in the eternal worlds, <b>that</b> they may bear the souls of men."
 
−
<br>
 
−
 
 
−
Oh, this one’s my favorite. Notice the emphasis I added on the "that." The word appears there to create a conditional clause. You claim the bearing of souls is the same thing as multiplying and replenishing the earth, but the actual text insists that the bearing of the souls of men will only be made possible by "exaltation in the eternal worlds." This is a promise of eternal increase, of bearing souls after the earth is no longer around to be replenished. Big, big difference.<br>
 
−
And right here, with Reason #3, we have a clear rationale and justification for Joseph being sealed to women with whom he made no attempts to multiply and replenish the earth – i.e. no sex.<ref>Jim Bennett "A Faithful Reply to the CES Letter from a former CES Employee" <https://canonizer.com/files/reply.pdf> (accessed 30 December 2018)</ref>
