•  Origin of Latter Day Saint polygamy

  The origin of Latter Day Saint polygamy is traced to Mormonism founder Joseph Smith, Jr. , who taught that polygamy (or at least polygyny) was a divine commandment, and practiced it personally, by some accounts marrying as many as 30 wives before his death. This position is supported by "sealing" records, public marriage licenses (in many cases notarized), affidavits, letters, journals and diaries.
