Brigham Young (; June 1, 1801 – August 29, 1877) was an American leader in the Latter Day Saint movement and a settler of the Western United States. He was the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1847 until his death in 1877. He founded Salt Lake City and he served as the first governor of the Utah Territory. Young also led the foundings of the precursors to the University of Utah and Brigham Young University. Young was a polygamist, marrying a total of 55 wives, 54 of them after he converted to Mormonism. The policy was difficult for many in the church. Young stated that upon being taught about plural marriage, "It was the first time in my life that I desired the grave." By the time of his death, Young had 56 children by 16 of his wives; 46 of his children reached adulthood. In 1902, 25 years after Brigham Young death, the ''New York Times'' established that Young's direct descendants numbered more than 1000.〔("Descendants of Brigham Young to Hold Annual Mass Meetings" ), ''New York Times'', 1902-06-22.〕 ==Notable descendants== The following are notable descendants of Brigham Young.
