If you are curious about the book "Wife No. 19", a supposed autobiography of Brigham Young's 19th wife by Ann Eliza Young... Brigham Young married 55 women in his lifetime, and Ann Eliza Webb Young was actually number 52. When she married Brigham Young, she was 24 and was already a divorced mother of 2. She married Brigham Young on the advice of her family, in 1868. She later divorced him in 1875, after being excommunicated from the church and selling off Brigham Young's furniture at auction.

How many sisters did Brigham Young have?
There seems to be a great deal of debate on the exact number.Some say that he had over 40 wives while he was alive, although that number wasn't all alive at once, and that number definitely isn't the number of wives that he slept with, because he married several women just because they needed someone to support them. There was one story I read in the histories of a woman that asked him to marry her sister, so that her sister would have a roof over her head, and that seems to have happened a few times, once there was precedent. :) So, the exact number depends on your definition of wife... whether you mean how many he ever had alive at one time, or how many he slept with, or how many he supported.Others say that he had 27 wives (see link below).He had children with 20 different wives.Brigham Young had a total of 55 wives in his lifetime, although not all at the same time. He had children with 16 of his wives, and the majority of the others he never lived with and were never publically considered his 'wives' - they were mostly widows and divorcees that he had promised to take care of. At his death, he had been divorced 10 times and widowed 19 times. Although 23 wives were still living, his will mentioned only the 16 whom he had lived with. These 16 split his estate. Brigham's first wife was Miriam Angeline Works. She died before Brigham was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church).He re-married Mary Ann Angell and joined the Church.His first polygamous marriage was 8 years later, to Lucy Ann Decker, who had been abandoned by her husband.Brigham then married Augusta Adams, who's husband had left her as well.The next wives were Harriet Elizabeth Cook and Clarissa Caroline Decker.His next wife, Emily Dow Partridge, was a widow.Clarissa Ross was next, a 30 year old spinster.Louisa Beaman and Eliza R. Snow were his next wives, also both widows.He next married Elizabeth Fairchild, who divorced him after 11 years of marriage.Clarissa Blake, Rebecca Holman, Diana Chase, and Suzanne Snively married him in October 1844. Diana divorced him only a few years later.The next three marriages were to widows: Olive Grey Frost, Mary Ann Clark, and Margaret Pierce.Mary Pierce and Emmeline Free came next, after which Brigham was sealed to Mary Elizabeth Rollins. Mary Rollins was married and living with a non-Mormon, and so was sealed to Brigham for "eternity only" meaning that she would not be considered his wife until the afterlife.In January 1846, Brigham married Margaret Alley, Olive Andrews, Emily Haws, Martha Bowker, Ellen Rockwood, Jemima Angel, Abigail Marks, Phebe Morton, Cynthia Porter, Mary Eliza Nelson, and Rhoda Richards. All but Margaret, Martha, and Ellen were widows.Zina Diantha Huntington, a widow, came next. She was followed by Mary Ellen de la Montague (a divorcee, who was divorced from Young and re-married to her previous husband only a few months later), Julia Foster (a divorcee), Abigail Harback (a widow), Amy Cecilia Cooper (a 41 year old spinster), and Mary Ann Turley (who divorced Brigham 5 years later).Naamah Carter, a divorcee, was next, followed by Nancy Cressy and Jane Terry, both widows.Lucy Bigelow, Mary Jane Bigelow, Sarah Malin (a 43 year old spinster), and Eliza Burgess were next. Mary and Sarah divorced him after 4 years.He then married widows Mary Oldfield, Catherine Reese, Mary VanCott, and Elizabeth Jones; and divorcees Harriet Barney and Ann Eliza Webb. Ann divorced Brigham 7 years later. He married Eliza Babcock and Amelia Folsom as well. Eliza divorced him a short time later.Brigham's final two wives, Lydia Farnsworth and Hannah Tapfield, were in a similar situation as Mary Rollins. They were married and living with non-Mormon husbands, so were sealed to Brigham for 'Eternity Only'.

Why is Brigham Young the next profet?
Brigham Young was the second prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). He was the prophet from 1847 to 1877. At the death of Joseph Smith, his followers were torn as to who should be the next prophet. Some thought it should be Joseph Smith's son. Others thought it was Sidney Rigdon. Others thought it was James Strang. Others thought there would be no more prophets. The majority followed Brigham Young, who was the most senior Apostle. Many of those who chose to follow Brigham said that when he spoke, he briefly appeared to look and sound like Joseph Smith. They also chose him because of his high position in the Church (the others who claimed to be the next prophet were never Apostles, aside from Sidney Rigdon). Those who followed the other men formed their own groups, many of which still exist today.
