The True Origin of Mormon Polygamy
Joseph Smith, the Mormon "Prophet," was born in the village of Sharon, Windsor County, Vermont, December 23, 1805. He was the fourth of ten children and was reared in ignorance, poverty, indolence and superstition. In his tenth year, the family removed to Palmyra, Ontario County, New York, four years afterwards removing to Manchester, in the same county, where his career as a prophet began.
When Joseph was in his fifteenth year, according to his own account, he received his first religious impressions. The three churches of his town, the Methodist, Presbyterian and Baptist, had held long protracted meetings and his feelings were considerably wrought upon, while at the same time he was perplexed to know just which of the churches to join. He finally decided to make the matter a subject of prayer, and so, retiring to the forest, he called upon the Lord, stating his desires and perplexities. His prayer was soon answered by the appearance of the Father and the Son, the former of whom told him that he must unite with none of the existing sects, as they were all wrong and their professors all corrupt.
