Lee, Mormonism Unveiled, Edited by W. Brand, n. Emmeline B. While the testimony is interesting, devoting such space to reproduce the transcription is surprising, since Noble consistently places the sealing in either or , but never in To her the Prophet paid his attentions with a view of yielding obedience to the principle of plural marriage.

My research has identified twenty-six documents that could be first- or secondhand accounts verifying the Smith-Beaman plural marriage; fourteen provide a date for the ceremony. It is impossible to tell how many of these eight records quoted Noble directly, but there is a remarkable consistency in the year recorded in these documents:.

Joseph B. Noble, quoted in Scott G. Kenney, ed. Nobles said that he performed the first Marriage Ceremony according to the Patriarchal order of Marriage ever performed in this dispensation By sealing Eliza Beman to Joseph Smith on the 6 day of May Noble, Affidavit, June 26, , Joseph F.

Erastus Snow, quoted in Karl A. Eliza R. Bergera uncritically promotes the reliability of the dates found on the Woodruff document in contrast to overwhelming evidence for the alternative dates. Woodruff was not present for any of the original four sealings, so he had no firsthand knowledge of the ceremonies. Yet, nowhere does Bergera address the question regarding who might have shared accurate information with Woodruff in or sometime before regarding these sealings.

Perhaps members of the Huntington family could have provided accurate dates for Zina and Presendia, but it is less certain that they would have known of Louisa Beaman. These are the only participants in the first three sealings who were still living in , so if Woodruff received accurate information, it would have had to come from another source or in a conversation that he did not mention in his journal. Beyond the participants, one might postulate that Brigham Young or Heber C.

Kimball would have known of the plural unions, but it is less certain they would have known the exact day and year. Regrettably, Bergera does not tell us of the date of the entry immediately after the recording of the four sealing dates. Starting on the following page is a transcription in different colored ink dated November 18, This is indeed a possibility. However, if we fast-forward three years, we find the affidavit books being compiled by Joseph F.

Smith and filled with all of this information for all four women, except that the sealing year for Louisa, Zina, and Presendia is On May 1, , Rhoda Richards signed an affidavit on page 17 identifying June 12, , as the date of her sealing to the Prophet. This is wise counsel but is surprising in light of his willingness to accept with little scrutiny what he believed to be an source. No official record of these early s sealings was made at the time they were performed, so an record would not be contemporaneous.

Instead it would rely on a human memory as a primary historical source. It is unclear what other options Bergera advocates to document the chronology of these sealings. In summary, multiple historical records discuss the sealing year of Joseph Smith to plural wives Louisa Beaman, Zina Huntington, and Presendia Huntington. One additional secondhand account places the Beaman marriage in that year. In contrast, all other known sources — including an journal entry by Zina regarding Presendia and affidavits from the participants themselves — support as the first year of Joseph Smith Nauvoo plural sealings.

Observers are left to decide for themselves the year that is best supported by available historical data. For reasons discussed in this article, the alternative dates provided were not considered reliable, and since it provided no new information, it was not included. In retrospect, it should have at least been integrated into Appendix B, which lists evidence for the individual plural sealings. Joseph F.
