Louisa Beaman

Louisa married Joseph in a grove outside of town  at night disguised as man with a hat and coat. She was known as Joseph's first plural wife for many years, but we now know that is not the case. She ended up marrying Brigham Young. The town of Parawon was first named Fort Louisa, to honor her as the first plural wife.

Lucinda Morgan Harris

Lucinda was married to the wild Captain Morgan, after he died she married George W. Harris. Lucinda married Joseph while being married to Harris. She left George and joined the Catholic Sisters of Charity.

Fanny Alger

I am going to do a series of Joseph Smith's wives. This accomplishes  two goals, my fascination with Mormon history and my love of portraits. I am excited to see if my skills improve by the time I am finished. This is  Fanny Alger, historians are mixed on Fanny, some say she was the first wife, some say an affair.  I am inspired by Cass Barney's style, but hopefully this will evolve into something more of my own.
