Tracing my mothers family, I linked in to a tree on ancestry which had a number of descendants in the States. As there were a couple of errors on the tree, I thought I had found another when one man was listed with multiple wives at the same time. Then I looked at where he was and the penny dropped - he was in Bountiful, Utah, and was obviously a Mormon who practiced polygamy.
His name was Henry Rampton, and there is quite a bit about him on the web.
However I do wonder how he managed to persuade his 40 year old wife that he should marry an 18 year old!:xmas_biggrin:
