Original Title: TIL when Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith was murdered in 1844, he had around 44 wives. About 25 followed Brigham Young—some he married, while others were given to different men. 11 stayed with their other husbands, (yes it was polyandry) and 8 didn’t follow Brigham’s church and moved away.
