Lee, Because he didn't. He married three women, but didn't divorce them. He
actually lived with all three simultaneously and had children by all three
at the same time. Right now this is speculation, but I have one ancestor of
my husbands who was Morman and who had enough children to make me wonder if
one of the women who was listed as his daughter MIGHT not have been a plural
wife.

If he did, why not show it?

My dad's first cousin was married five times. In his case, two
marriages were re-marriages --
that is, he
married A,
divorced A,
married B,
divorced B,
married A the 2nd time,
she died,
married B the 2nd time,
she died,
married C,
he died

In his case, there was only one child -- of the first marriage.
