Digging on John Luman Smith. Didn’t Trump speak about something being‘unsealed?’
Started with Joseph Smith the Morman Church founder. He was married to Zina Diantha Huntington.
Interesting website where you can learn so much from the comments and questions.

But the most troubling question I have is related to why Brigham Young entered into a polyandrous marriage with her whenshe'd already been sealed to Josephand she was still with her legal husband (who was still an active member of the church). I do know that Zina had a say in all of this, but why would Brigham Young choose to marry her when he could only be sealed to her for time? This polyandrous marriage leaves me shaking my head (others do too actually….but this one makes no sense to me).
So far, no one has been able to give me a good answer as to why Brigham married her(when he couldn't be sealed to her).
As part of the Levirate Marriages the Tweive offered to all of Joseph's wives after he died (my memory says, I am pretty sure this is on FAIR). The wives were able to choose if and to whom they were married where the man was seen as a stand in for Joseph.
Brigham married her because she was sealed to Joseph, not in spite of it. By doing so he assumed the responsibility for his dead 'brother's' wife (or wives, can't remember if he married more than one). Other of the Twelve did the same thing.
Could use some help digging as real life calls. So much moar at link. Still piecing it together to see how we get to John Luman Smith.
