Jesse Nathaniel Smith, a cousin to the Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith, Jr., came to Utah in the Mormon migration of 1847, farming in Davis County until 1851, then moving to Parowan. He became the husband of five wives, who bore him a total of 44 children. In 1878, LDS Church leaders called him to preside over the Eastern Arizona Stake; he lived with his large family in Snowflake, Arizona, until his death in 1906. The posterity of Jesse N. Smith are listed in this volume, which includes biographical sketches of each of his five wives, 44 children and their spouses.
