+ | *The site notes that Presendia "married Joseph Smith on December 11, 1841," and later notes that when Presendia left to cross the plains in 1846 that she "took her six year old son, Oliver, with her, leaving behind her 16 year old son George and husband, Norman." | ||

+ | *Note that Presendia took with her a son that was conceived during the time that she was married to Joseph Smith. This appears to be an allusion to the claim that Oliver Buell (originally made by Fawn Brodie in ''[[No Man Knows My History]]'', that Oliver was actually Joseph's son. This claim has been proven false through DNA research. | ||
+ | <blockquote> | ||
+ | "Only 9 of the 23 genetic markers match when comparing the inferred Oliver Buell haplotype to that of Joseph Smith. Such a low degree of correlation between the two haplotypes provides strong evidence that they belong to two unrelated paternal lineages, thus excluding with high likelihood Joseph Smith Jr. as the biological father of Oliver N. Buell. Further weight is given to this observation by the close match of the inferred haplotype of Owen F. Buell to the independent Buell record in the SMGF data base, which genetic relationship dates back prior to Joseph Smith's era. Additionally, the two genetic profiles were run through a haplogroup predictor algorithm that assigned the Smith haplotypes to a cluster known as R1b and the cluster for the Buell's haplotypes to I1b2a, two deeply divergent clades that separated anciently, thus providing further evidence that the Oliver Buell and Joseph Smith lineages are not closely related" {{ref|JJHWA1}} | ||

My greatest hope in this regard is that the LDS Church will not defend Joseph Smith’s involvement in polygamy as appropriate.
