(^49) See n. 2 above (Stack, in The Salt Lake Tribune): “Many Mormons want to believe that Smith
didn’t have sexual relations with the women he took as plural wives. If the LDS prophet fathered
nine children by his only legal wife, Emma, they reason, why are there so few documented offspring
with the other 33 women? ...Researchers have suggested eight possible offspring from Joseph Smith’s
plural wives, Hales [a Mormon author] says, but DNA testing on descendants has failed to prove any
link. So, he argues, Smith must not have had frequent sex with too many of the women, who were
young and likely fertile.”

there were allegations of paternity in some of these alleged polygamous marriages, no children have
ever been proven to be Smith’s. There is ongoing genetic research to determine if any descendants of
alleged children have Smith’s genetic markers, and so far all tests have been negative.”
