Did Joseph have any children through polygamous marriages?
Sumario: Is it possible that Joseph Smith fathered children with some of his plural wives, and that he covered up the evidence of pregnancies? Did Joseph Smith have intimate relations with other men’s wives to whom he had been sealed, and did any children result from these unions? DNA testing has so far proven these allegations to be false.
Did Mrs. Hyde not know whether Orson or Joseph fathered her child?
Sumario: There is no evidence to support this claim. Anti-Mormon sources sometimes confuse Hyde with Prescindia Buell.
Did Sarah Pratt (Mrs. Orson Pratt) not know whether Orson or Joseph fathered her child?
Sumario: There is no evidence to support this claim. Anti-Mormon sources sometimes confuse Pratt with Prescindia Buell.
Did Prescindia Lathrop Huntington Buell not know whether Orson or Joseph fathered her child?
Sumario: DNA testing rules out Joseph as the father of one child, and it is historically implausible that they were even together at the right time to conceive a child. A second child has been posited, but only on evidence from a very dubious source.
