Biographical Directory

The names of more than two thousand individuals appear in the documents published in this volume. This register contains brief biographical sketches for roughly four hundred women and men who play more prominent roles in the documents. These include women who attended the first meeting of the Female Relief Society of Nauvoo; held leadership positions in the Relief Society, Young Ladies’ Mutual Improvement Association, or Primary Association; contributed in a remarkable way within their ward or community; or participated in national events or were national figures. Also included are biographical sketches for men who held general or local leadership positions in the church or who participated in community or national events. The sources for these biographical sketches are available in the biographical directory published online at churchhistorianspress.org. The online directory also provides brief biographical information for almost all the other women and men named in the documents in this volume. A small number of names are identified in footnotes in the main body of the volume rather than in the biographical directory. Because of research limitations and the imperfect nature of the documents, some names could not be identified.

The biographical entries in this register identify persons by complete name (correctly spelled), birth and death dates, and additional information, such as birthplace and parentage, migrations and places of residence, dates of marriage and names of spouses, number of children, religious and civic positions, and place of death. Any references to baptism denote entry into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, unless otherwise specified. Locations that are noted include city or town, county, and state, when identified, for the first mention of a locale in each sketch. The counties and states of a handful of well-known cities have been omitted. Parenthetically listed at the end of each biographical entry are the numbers for every document text in which the person’s name appears.

Entries for women give all maiden and married names and are generally listed under the surnames by which the women were known at the time they appear in the volume. For example, Ann Atlass Robinson Coulam Doull is listed in this directory as “Coulam Doull, Ann Atlass Robinson” because she was known under the married name Coulam at the time she figures in this volume. For women who were plural wives of Joseph or Hyrum Smith, the surname Smith has not been included; exceptions have been made for women who went by Smith during their lifetimes. Later married names and any alternative spellings that appear in parentheses were disregarded while alphabetizing this register.

In the documents published in this volume, many personal names are given incompletely or are spelled unconventionally. The editors have supplied additional name information in brackets where needed to aid the reader in finding the matching person in the biographical directory. When a name in the text has two or more possible identifications, the name as it appears in the document is listed in this register (or the one online) with a “See” followed by the potential identifications. At times, a name in a document will contain a middle initial that is not present in the person’s biographical entry. This omission does not necessarily mean that the middle initial is erroneous; rather, it indicates that researchers were unable to find further documentation that either confirmed or corrected the initial.

Researchers have utilized original sources whenever possible. Readers wishing to conduct further research may consult the documented biographical entries online.
