Notes |
- mmigrated to America in 1841 on the Ship SHEFFIELD with 234 other Mormon Immigrants.
George had 3 wives. He had 35 children before the government decided to wipe out polygamy. He provided separate homes for each of his families. He fed and clothed and educated these children. 23 of these children lived to get married. When the government intervenes, George had the opportunity to choose one wife to marry 'legally," and forsake the other 2. He refused to do so, and was then sent to the Utah Penitentiary. He served his full term minus 3 months for good behavior.
