So shall it be with my father: he shall be
called a prince over his posterity, holding
the keys of the patriarchal priesthood over the kingdom of God on earth, even the Church

  • Notes 
    • William Smith, brother of the Prophet Joseph Smith. According to corrections made in the Ancestral File by Elaine Nicholes, he was not married to Rhoda Alkire. Rhoda had a son whom she named William Francis Smith, b. Nov. 1847, Greenview, Menard, Illinois. Further research may prove otherwise, but it is problematic and needs more proof. An extensive posterity has been compiled for each of these children by Harry D. Galley. All information in this record is extracted from that source.
