Olive Grey Frost
Olive Grey Frost
Summary: Olive Frost was born on July 24, 1816 and sealed to Joseph Smith sometime during the summer of 1843, which would make her about 27 years old at the time. Very little is known about the marriage. What little is know is recorded in the journal of Joseph E. Robinson, which states that Olive had borne a child by Joseph Smith, but that both Olive and the child died.
Mother of a possible child by Joseph Smith, but very limited evidence.
Summary: Olive 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.Joseph Smith's Polygamy: "Olive G. Frost", by Brian C. Hales
