About Rhoda Richards Smoth Young, Plural-Wife of Mormon Leaders Joseph Smith & Brigham Young
"Rhoda was born and raised in Boston, the second of eleven children. Her brother, Willard Richards, would later become an apostle in the [Mormon] church...
...Rhoda first heard about the Mormon church many years later when her cousin, and recent convert, Joseph Young visited her in 1835. Joseph was a brother with future church leader Brigham Young....A year later Rhoda was baptized in that religion...
...In the fall of 1842, Rhoda moved to Nauvoo and soon met Mormon founder Joseph Smith.
Her brother, the Mormon Apostle Willard Richards, was a close associate of Joseph Smith and perhaps introduced Rhoda to Joseph.
In the spring of 1843, Rhoda made her home in “the Prophets store.”
The following month, on June 12, Rhoda married Joseph Smith himself, her brother Willard performing the marriage, and Rhoda immigrated to Utah and lived in Salt Lake City for the remainder of her life..."
Rhoda then married Brigham Young on 31 Jan 1846 in Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois. They had no children.
