Emma Smith

  • Emma Smith
    Critics contend that Emma Hale Smith either did not approve of the Prophet Joseph Smith having plural wives or know of the revelation concerning celestial marriage(s). (Link)
  • Eliza R. Snow and the stairs
    Some charge that Eliza R. Snow, one of Joseph's plural wives, was pregnant by Joseph. According to the claim, a furious Emma pushed Eliza down the stairs, resulting in a miscarriage. (Link)
  • Emma to be annihilated
    In the revelation contained in D&C 132 Emma was promised "annihilation" if she did not accept plural marriage. (Link)
  • Sealing
    Critics contend that although Emma Hale Smith was Joseph's first wife, that Joseph was sealed to other wives before being sealed to Emma. The assumption follows that Emma was not in a position to consent to Joseph's other marriages, since she was not longer the "first wife." (Link)
  • Emma Smith and Brigham Young
    Why did Emma and Brigham Young seem to not get along? (Link)
