List of Brigham Young's wives : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of Brigham Young's wives
Brigham Young was perhaps the most famous polygamist of the early Latter Day Saint movement, marrying a total of 55 wives, 54 of them after becoming a Latter Day Saint.〔Jeffrey Odgen Johnson, (“Determining and Defining ‘Wife’ — The Brigham Young Households” ), ''Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought'', vol. 20, no. 3 (Fall 1987) pp. 57-70.〕 He 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 59 children by 16 of his wives; 46 of his children reached adulthood.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brigham Young Biography )〕 ==Number of wives== Sources have varied on the number of Young's wives due to differences in what observers have considered to be a "wife".〔 There were 55 women that Young was sealed to during his lifetime. While the majority of the sealings were "for eternity" (i.e., in the afterlife), some were "for time only" (until death). However, it is suspected that not all of the 55 marriages were conjugal,〔 and Young did not live with a number of his wives or publicly hold them out as wives, which has led to confusion on numbering.〔 A book published in 1887 gives brief biographical sketches and photos of a total of 26 wives. Of his 55 wives, 21 had never been married before; 16 were widows; six were divorced; six had living husbands; and the marital status of six others are unknown.〔 At the time of Young's death, 19 of his wives had predeceased him, he was divorced from ten, and 23 survived him, with the status of four unknown.〔 In his will, Young shared his estate with the 16 surviving wives who had lived with him; the six surviving non-conjugal wives were not mentioned in the will.〔
