Biographic Summary:
Abigail Jane Daley was born 26 January 1815 in Marcellus, Onondago County, New York to Elizabeth Ennis Daley and John Daley Jr. Her parents moved to Ohio when Abigail was a young girl. In 1832, they were converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Abigail married Milo Andrus on February 21, 1833 and four months later, Milo was called to serve a mission. He continued to serve missions throughout his life, often leaving Abigail to care for the children and the farm while he was gone. In 1848, Abigail traveled to Utah Territory with her five young children without her husband, who was serving a mission in England with his second wife. Soon after the return of Milo and his second wife in 1851, Abigail and Milo chose to separate permanently. A year later, Abigail got remarried to a man named Elisha Wheat Van Etten. They moved to Richmond, Utah, where Abigail gave birth to two more children, Elizabeth and Sarah Jane. Sarah Jane died in infancy. Abigail’s children: John, Sarah, James, Millennium, Mary, and Amanda, were devoted to her as she grew older and were at her bedside when she died in Richmond, Utah, on 27 October 1894.
Abstract:
The biography was written by Abigail’s granddaughter, Stella Fisher Brossard. This brief history of Abigail is two typewritten pages and focuses mostly on capturing important moments in her life. At times, it is difficult to read because there are many handwritten corrections made to the biography. The biographer writes about her grandmother’s experiences crossing the plains and how her two boys had to take on the responsibilities of men. She also relates stories about the harsh winter of 1848, when food was so scarce that Abigail had to divide the last remaining bread amongst her children and have faith that they could get more food. At these times, Abigail left the room while her children ate because she gave herself no portion although her hunger was intense. The biographer also describes her memories of Abigail, who had deep pride in her ancestors, wore her hair in ringlets, fed her cottage cheese and pottawattamie plum preserves, and always kept her home immaculately clean. Although Abigail and Milo separated, Abigail remained friendly with him, and he found great comfort in the children of this first marriage as he grew older.
Biography:
She came in '48, and how brave and courageous she was. With abiding faith in her Heavenly Father and her love for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, she was able to bring her family from Winter Quarters to Salt Lake City, Utah.
I write of my grandmother, Abigail Jane Daley Andrus, who left Winter Quarters, the spring of 1848, with five children, endured the hardships of that long trek across the plains, arriving September 24, 1848 in the Heber C. Kimball Company.
Her husband, Milo Andrus, was sent from Winter Quarters to England, on a mission, in the spring of 1848. Shortly before he left Winter Quarters, according to his diary, he was sealed to Sara Ann Miles, who accompanied him to England.
To the union of Abigail Jane Daley and Milo Andrus were born six children: Mary Jane Andrus, born November 1833, at Florence, Huron County, Ohio; James Andrus, born June 14, 1835, at Florence, Huron County, Ohio; Sara Ann Andrus, born May 31, 1837, at Caldwell, Missouri, died 1838 at Caldwell, Missouri; John Daley Andrus, born April 23, 1837, at Woodside, Adams County, Illinois; Millennium Andrus (my mother) born August 31, 1845, at Nauvoo, Hancock County, Illinois; Amanda Ann Andrus, born November 19, 1847, at Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County, IA.
With these five children she arrived safely in Salt Lake City, Utah. The oldest boy, James, 13, had to take the place of a man, and with the help of his brother, John, 7 did the work of a man during that long and strenuous trip across the plains. They walked every step of the way, and barefoot too, along with their sister, Mary Jane, and their mother. They had to to many times to pick the burrs from their feet. At one time, they came to a place where the Indians had been in battle. They picked out some of the hides to cover their feet, as they were sore and bleeding.
My mother, Millenium, was only three, and rode in the wagon with her baby sister, Amanda. Just after my mother returned from Salt Lake City to her home in Oxford, Idaho, after she had attended the Golden Jubilee July 24, 1893, she said to me, "As the parade passed by, my sister, Mary Jane, broke into tears and said, "All it needs to make it complete is James, John, and me to be walking barefoot beside the wagon."
There was no complaining from my blue eyed, Dutch grandmother, who walked each day through wind and rain, or days of blistering sun, on the prairie land, or fording deep streams. She was thankful each night that her Heavenly Father, with his protecting care, had given her strength to do her daily tasks, and to arise next morning with courage to continue on. What joy was theirs when they reached the journey's end that day in September.
That winter the big wagon box was their home. The boy's bed, being under the wagon, where there was some protection from frost and rain. Grandfather writes in his diary of their wagon, "The winter of 1846 my house, in the basement, was made into a wagon shop and in the spring I started on a journey to the West.'
That winter (1848-49) in Salt Lake City fuel was plentiful and easy to obtain, but food was scarce. They experienced a hard winter. A man by the name of Session kept them many times from starving. The Saints had put in their crops, but the crickets had taken them. Not half will ever be told of what they endured.
My mother told me, more than once, and each time tears would fill her eyes and a lump come in her throat, that during the scarcity of food in Salt Lake City before help came, that her mother, of whom I write, made some bread from her last bit of meal; and when it was baked and ready to eat there was not enough for all, so she divided it among her children and while they were eating it she went behind the house so that she could not see them eating, for she was as hungry herself. How a mother loves her children and how she sometimes has to sacrifice.
Abigail's children were hard workers and sacrificed for one another. The oldest boy, James now 13, was of tough fiber and brave spirit. In the canyons he worked long and hard to get fuel against the winter. Grown men, admiring the boy's pluck, would aid him, and he would proudly drive home with his load of wood. The second son, John, of a quieter, less ambitious nature, early learned the use of fire arms and became a first class shot. With his old muzzle loader he killed great numbers of wild ducks, as these were plentiful and sell them for fifty cents. Mary Jane did washing every day of the week and ironed by moonlight to obtain the few groceries they could buy. The younger girls herded the cows and pulled "pig-weed" and "mustard" and other edible weed; and, when evening came and cows were brought in, they had aprons full of weeds, which were cooked and became a mess of greens.
In 1850, my grandfather returned from England. Times were better then, crops had been harvested, wild fruit picked and dried, and a log cabin built. The food was simple, consisting of cereal grains; whole corn, fresh in season, dried, or parched for winter; wheat cracked to coarse bits, or sometimes parched; milk and butter; some eggs; and fowl; wild meat at times, venison and ducks. Sugar was had in the form of sorghum or molasses, as a form of sugar cane would be grown in Utah, and a few crude sorghum mills existed. Potatoes, carrots and cabbages were coming into production. So, all in all, after the Latter-day Saints had passed their first few years of bitter struggle, their food supply was ample and well balanced. Fruit was scarce until orchards could grow to maturity. The canyons produced a small amount of wild berries.
Copying from grandfather's diary again, after giving an account of his work in the Mission Field, his trip across the plains where he was Captain of fifty-five wagons in 1850, he writes, "After one week's rest I went to work in the 19th ward and built me a house; and about the first of January, 1851, my wife, Jane and I parted."
In 1852, Abigail Jane married Elisha W. Vannette . To this union a little girl was born, who died in infancy; and later another daughter, Elizabeth was born, who became the wife of John Bullen.
My grandmother later moved to Richmond, Utah, and spent the rest of her life there. I remember my dear old grandmother whom I dearly loved and who died when I fourteen years of age, 27 October 1894.
I often visited her when a child, as Oxford, Idaho, was only thirty miles from Richmond, Utah. Much much father than it it today though, since the mode of travel is so different.
Her hair was always done with ringlets on each side of her face, and a bob in the back of her head. How well I liked the cottage cheese. She called it Dutch cheese; and those pottawattamie plum preserves; and the bedstead, so high from the floor, with the white curtains all around it. She kept her little home immaculate Her sister, Nancy Mariah, who never married, always made her home with grandmother until grandmother died.
Grandmother was born in Marcellus, Onandago County, New York, January 26, 1815. Her father, John Daley Jr., and his wife Elizabeth Ennis Daley, with their children, moved to Ohio in her early girlhood. Her father was baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in 1832. A month after her 18th birthday, Abigail Jane Daley married Milo Andrus, on February 21, 1833, in Florence, Huron County, Ohio. Milo Andrus was the son of Ruluf Andrus and Azubah Smith.
Abigail Jane descended from a sturdy race of people, the French Huguenots, and that illustrious family, "The DeWitts," who saved Holland for Holland. Abigail's grandmother was Hannah DeWitt, who was a descendant of Clars DeWitt of Holland, who came with the West Indies Company to what is now New York (1612). The DeWitts at one time were virtually rulers of Holland. Being among the earliest settlers of New York, they have helped make the history of this great nation. Her pedigree on this line is unbroken to the year 1295. The record is found in the Royal Library, at "The Hague" Holland. How proudly my mother used to say, "DeWitt Clinton, thrice Governor of New York was my mother's cousin.
Abigail Jane's grandfather, James Ennis, married Hannah DeWitt. The mother of James Ennis was Eleanor Hornbeck, whose mother was Eleanor Cuddeback, whose father was Jacob Cuddeback or Cuddeback. The emigrant ancestor, Jacob Cuddeback or Cuddebec, as it should be spelled, reached America when a very young man. He came with Peter Gumaer, both settling in the wilderness of New York. In 1690, we find them among the first settlers of Deerpark, Orange County, New York. It was difficult for these young men, who had come from families of wealth, to accustom themselves to manual labor. Jacob Cuddeback and his sons were stalwart strong men; naturally, the men at that time were all inventors and mechanics. The men of the family served through all the wars and many times their homes were laid waste by the Indians. The strong stone houses, being the largest, built by Cuddeback and DeWitt families, were used as forts during Indian Wars. Jacob Cuddeback lived to be 100 years old. (Taken from "History of Deer Park, by Peter Gumaer or Cumaer. We also find more of Jacob Cuddebac's life from page 184 on.)
Grandmother and grandfather Andrus were proud of their sons, who knew no fear when fighting Indians. James and John Andrus figured in the early history of Utah, especially when trouble with the Indians arose. Grandmother's children were very devoted to their mother and provided well for her and her sister in their declining years, and were all at her bedside when she died; and had tenderly cared for her in her last illness.
She was always friendly with her first husband, Milo Andrus, who in his later years took great comfort with the children of his first wife and their families. Abigail was again sealed to Milo Andrus in the Logan Temple on 17 March 1886.
She and her husband, Milo Andrus, were born just a year apart; that is, one born in 1814 and grandmother in 1815. They were baptized a year apart: grandfather 1832 and grandmother 1833; and Grandfather Andrus died in 1893 and Grandmother died in Richmond, Utah October 27, 1894, and is buried in the Richmond cemetery.

Grampa Bill [William O. Lewis, III] believes that no one is better able to tell the story of one's life than him who has lived it. We are blessed to have Milo Andrus' autobiography. Here, in his own words, is the life story of Elder Milo Andrus. Some additional commentary will follow his writing covering areas of which modesty forbade him to speak and the closing years of his life.
==============================================
AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF MILO ANDRUS
Milo Andrus, the author of this biography, is the son of Ruluf Andrus and Azuba Smith. My father is a native of Hartford, Connecticut, and my mother of Rutland, Vermont. They shortly after marriage moved to Essex County, state of New York, where they resided until their ninth child was born--seven boys and three girls, namely: Oran, Almon, Carlo, Erasmus, Harwin, Milo and Milo 2nd. Erasmus, Harwin, and Milo 1st died in childhood, the dates of their deaths I cannot give in consequence of a fire that burnt up the records of my father's family. The names of sisters were Sybil, Sarah, and Emily. My eldest brother, Oran, was born in 1797; Sybil was born in 1799; Almon was born in 1801; the dates of the others I cannot give.
The writer of the above, Milo 2nd, was born March 6th, 1814. When five years old, my parents moved to Dunkirk, state of New York, where they resided one and a half years. During that time there was a circumstance occurred, that seems to me to show the protecting hand of the Lord over me. I went to the shore of Lake Erie and got into a skiff on the shore and went to sleep, when the wind arose and took the skiff on the lake, and it was not seen until nearly out of sight. I was then picked up still sound asleep. I have always thought that the Angel of Peace then watched over m
My parents then moved up the lake into the state of Ohio, in Huron County, township of Henrietta, where they had three daughters born, namely: Evaline Charlotte, born October 7th, 1817; Lucina, born 1819; Harriet, born 1821. At the writing of this the two eldest of my brothers are still alive and three of my youngest sisters. They have all rejected the gospel. My mother died January 1st, 1830. My father died in the winter of 1848. I shall now drop the history of the balance of the family, and give a few incidents of my own history.
After the death of my mother, I bought the balance of my time until I was twenty-one of my father, for which I paid him one hundred and fifty dollars. In the spring of 1832, I met an elder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, though I should say, previous to this, that I had my mind much exercised about a future state, and had read the views of Alexander Campbell, and that being the nearest to the truths of the New Testament, I had been baptized by Elder Orson Hyde, then a minister of that section; but when I compared the scriptures with the teachings of the elder of The Church of Christ, I found that he had the truth; after trying for nearly one year, I yielded to baptism.
One month and nine days previous to my baptism, I was united in marriage to Abigail Jane Daley, whose father had been baptized into The Church of Christ about one year before. We were married February 21st, 1833, baptized April 12th, 1833. I was ordained an elder May 5th, 1833, under the hands of Joseph Wood. Started on my first mission in June, 1833, in company with Joseph Wood, traveled a distance of seventy miles preaching every day and baptized three. We came to Kirtland where the Prophet Joseph Smith resided with his family. The quarterly conference that came off in a few days after our arrival, changed my traveling companion, and I was coupled with Ova Truman. Joseph Wood and his fellow laborer went to Philadelphia, and I with my new companion was sent to the southern part of the state of Ohio, to return in three months to the next quarterly conference. We were not very successful and baptized only two persons. After this conference, I was permitted to return home and preach among the branches until winter, when we had a call from the Prophet Joseph by his brother Hyrum [Smith] to get ready and go with the company of elders to the state of Missouri, known as "Zion's Camp." Our first daughter and first child was born November 15th, 1833. During the winter of 1833 and spring of 1834, we were instructed to labor and get all the money that we could, and to get good rifles, and make ready to start by the first of May, 1834. We accordingly started from Florence, Huron County, Ohio, on the 7th of May, 1834. These were from the Florence branch; Nelson Higgins, Hyrum Blackman, Asey Fields, and Milo Andrus. My brother-in-law, James Daley, went with us [Zion's Camp] as far as Mansfield, Richland County, Ohio, where we met with the Prophet Joseph, his brother Hyrum [?] and the rest of the camp from the East. Our leader was Elder Orson Hyde.
There was one circumstance that occurred before we joined the main camp worthy of notice. As stated before, I had bought my time from my father, and had paid him the amount agreed upon, but still I was not twenty-one by ten months. On this account, and as he was so opposed to my going with the "Mormons," as he called them, he made an effort to stop me. As we had to pass his house on our way, we learned his intention to stop me at the county seat, Norwalk; and Brother Hyde had learned his plan, he went in and made inquiry about a road that we did not intend to travel, and then Brother Nelson Higgins and myself were directed to go around the city and take the road to Mansfield, and he and the sheriff thinking that we would move slow, did not want to overtake us until we had camped, accordingly father, sheriff and driver drank freely, and when they started they took the road to Tiffin, that had been inquired after to mislead them, and they drove until long after dark, the team becoming tired they gave up the chase and heard of us the next morning forty miles on the road to Mansfield, and they felt as though they had been badly sold, and gave up and went home.
On the 11th of May, we joined the main [Zion's] camp west of Mansfield, and on the 12th the camp was organized, and the law of consecration was for the first time presented and we shelled out to the last cent, and our money went into a commissary's hands and our supplies were bought by him. I shall not try to name the particulars of this journey. We journeyed on causing considerable excitement, and receiving much good instructions from the Prophet Joseph.
After we got into the state of Missouri, or rather, before our company had crossed the Mississippi River, we went into the dense forest as a company, and there offered up to the Lord our fervent prayers, that He would spare our lives, and permit us to return to our families, and we felt that it would be so, and thanks be to the Lord not one of us were taken by the cholera that visited the camp that afternoon.
Two weeks after we landed on Fishing River, in Clay County, Missouri, where the revelation was given June 22, 1834 (D&C 105), that is recorded on page 345 in Book of Doctrine and Covenants (D&C 105)--New Edition of 1876 [This is found on page 211 in current editions of the D&C---Grampa Bill]. About this time the cholera made its appearance among us, as it had been predicted by the prophet. Thirteen of our good brethren were taken away by the dread monster. The camp broke up partly, and the Saints scattered around and the Lord turned away the scourge. After staying there three weeks, the Lord permitted us to return. We got back to our families the last of September, 1834, care-worn and much fatigued. I had the cholera on the way home, but the Lord healed me, and then we went on our way rejoicing.
The summer of 1835, I traveled in the state of New York with Nathan Baldwin, baptized several, and the following winter went to school in Kirtland, and in the spring of 1836, I was in Kirtland at the dedication of the temple and the endowment of the elders that the Lord had promised as a reward for their offerings. The blessings of the Lord were poured out abundantly. There is one thing that I would here relate, that was a great joy to me, and that was when the Holy Ghost was poured out on the elders, I saw fire descend and rest on the heads of the elders, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
On our return to Kirtland from the mission in the East, I went to school in Kirtland, studied grammar, and then studied Hebrew under Professor [Joshua Seixas] of New York.
On going back to Florence, Ohio, I was chosen president of the Florence Branch, with instructions to move them to Missouri in the fall of 1836. We went as far as Terre Haute, Indiana, when being late and cold, we put up for winter. Our eldest son, James, was a babe three months old, and we came near losing him to human appearance, but the hand of the Lord was in it. We raised up a branch of the Church in that place.
Early in the spring of 1837, we started for Missouri, and arrived in Caldwell County in time to put in a crop. In 1838, we were mobbed out of the county. We had one child born in Missouri, a girl, namely: Sarah Ann. We went to Illinois in the winter of 1838 and the next summer we lost our little girl born in Missouri.
In the fall, after I had the chills and fever for two months and not able to scarcely walk, I was sent on a mission to Canada, but owing to the Patriot War, we were not permitted to go to Canada, and I spent the winter preaching in the state of Ohio--returned home in the spring of 1840, and spent my time in laboring and preaching in the counties around Nauvoo until the spring of 1844. I was then sent to the state of Ohio with Elder John Loveless. We traveled in the south part of Ohio for two months, when we heard of the assassination of the Prophet Joseph and his brother Hyrum. We went home as quick as steam would take us, arrived in time to see their mortal remains, before they were interred. I then went to Carthage Jail, where they were murdered, and saw the floor stained with the best blood of the present generation. The people were all fleeing for fear of justice overtaking them. I called at Hamilton's Hotel to see Elder John Taylor, who was wounded in the jail. Then went to Adams County, where my family had fled for safety. Found them well but much alarmed.
After we had mourned the loss of our prophet and patriarch a few weeks, during which time I was chosen one of the Nauvoo police, I helped to watch the city by night and worked on the [Nauvoo] temple by day--got it so that the work of the endowments commenced in the fall of 1845 and winter of 1846. I spent six weeks of the time in the temple and was much blessed.
During the past four years, we had two more children born, namely: John D. Andrus and Millennium. After the death of theProphet Joseph Smith, I was ordained one of the presidents of the 10th quorum of seventies. In the winter of 1846, my house, in the basement, was made into a wagon shop, and in the spring I started on our journey to the west. We overtook the main camp at Pisga[h], and from there went to Council Bluffs, where the government called on us for a battalion of 500 men to go to Mexico. After the battalion was started, I was sent forward with others to the number of one hundred and fifty wagons; went as far as the Pawnee Indian village, then went 150 miles to the northwest among the Ponca Indians. After staying there two months, we went back to Winter Quarters, stayed and farmed in that county in the year 1847, and in the spring of 1848, I was sent on a mission to England [to serve under Mission President Orson Pratt]. Shortly before I left, Sarah Ann Miles was sealed to me, and she accompanied me to England.
We arrived in Liverpool the first of August, and on the 13th of August [1848] at a general conference, I was appointed president of the Liverpool Conference, which place I filled to the best of my ability until January, 1850, when I was released to come home. During my stay in that conference there were three new branches added and between two and three hundred added to the Church by baptism. I baptized thirty in one evening. The Lord made manifest His power in healing the sick and in blessing the Church with signs following the believers. Milo, Junior, was born in Liverpool, September 30th, 1848.
We left Liverpool in January, 1850, on board of the ship, Argo. Jeter Clinton presided over the company, we were eight weeks and three days on the ship from Liverpool to New Orleans; some sickness and two deaths on the passage. I was sick with the cholera, my wife had poor health all the way, Milo, Jr. was sick; we thought that he would die, but the blessings of the Lord brought us through. We came up the Mississippi River on board the steamer "Uncle Sam", Captain Van Dosen, master. We landed at Kanesville early in May; was organized in the first company of Saints early in June. I was chosen captain over 55 wagons. We had a good time on the plains, arrived in Salt Lake City on last day of August, having but one death on the journey, that of a stranger going to California. I baptized 15 persons on the journey. James Leithhead and Richard Hopkins were clerks of the company. A more full account of the mission to England is recorded in the 10th quorum of seventies record.
After one week's rest, I went to work in the 19th ward and built me a house; and about the 1st of January, 1851, my wife, Jane, and I parted. In June, 1851, I married the Widow Tuttle, and the November following my wife, Sarah Ann Miles died. I married Adaline Alexander in March, 1852. In December, 1852, I married Mary Ann Webster.
In the spring of 1854, I was sent to Saint Louis to preside over the stake there. Stayed there one year, rebaptized and confirmed about 800 saints. Was sent up the river to buy cattle for the emigration of 1855, and in the fall was appointed by E. Snow and D. Spencer to bring the last company of 63 wagons home; arrived in Salt Lake City in October, and in December same year, married Elizabeth and Ann Brooks and Jane Munday. In February, 1857, married Margaret Boyce and in February, 1858, was married to Emma Covert. Was acting bishop of Big Cottonwood ward in 1858, and in the fall of 1859 was appointed to another mission to England. The first six months I was appointed to travel in the conferences; the last nine months I presided over the Birmingham District, embracing Birmingham, Warwickshire, and Staffordshire Conferences.
In the summer of 1861, I started for home with 700 saints on board the ship "Underwriter." I was appointed president of the company, had a good passage to New York; no deaths. I was then appointed to take charge of 900 to Florence, NE, on the cars. Stayed at Florence five weeks, and was then appointed captain to take a company of 66 wagons across the plains, and arrived in Salt Lake City in September, 1861. In the fall of 1870, I married Francena Tuttle. In the fall of 1870, I was again sent to the states on a mission. Came back in the spring of 1871. Since that time I have been in Utah on the home missionary list, and to work with my hands for a living. At this date, January 9th, 1875, I am living in St. George, Utah.
=============================================
Elder Andrus, perhaps because of modesty, fails in his autobiography to mention the singular event which grants him entry into these pages. In 1835 he was ordained a Seventy and called into the First Quorum of the Seventy and thus a General Authority. Though the early First Quorum of the Seenty never functioned as a presiding quorum of the Church, it was specifically so designated by revelation.
In 1874 he was appointed a member of the High Council in the St. George Stake, and held that position until 1881, when he was called to take charge of a mission to Green River in Emery county. This mission, however, did not succeed, and he therefore returned to Salt Lake City. In the fall of 1882 he was appointed chaplain of the council of the Utah Legislature.
In 1883 he moved to Cache Valley and located in Oxford in 1884. When the Oneida Stake of Zion was organized in 1884, he was chosen as a member of the High Council of that Stake and also appointed to preside over the High Priests' quorum. He was ordained a Patriarch in 1884.
Ripe in years and faithful and true to his Church to the last, Patriarch Andrus died at Oxford, Oneida county, Idaho, June 18, 1893, leaving a large posterity. Brother Andrus was universally known among the saints as an eloquent expounder of the gospel; he possessed the gift of speech to a marvelous extent and exercised influence for good wherever he associated with other men. He was one of the most successful missionaries known in the Church.
His missionary activities are summed up in the following: Southern Ohio (1833), five months; Zion's Camp (1834), six months; Temple worker at Kirtland (1834), six months; State of New York (1835), five months; Canada (1841), six months; Ohio (1844), seven months; Nauvoo Temple (1845, eight months; Great Britain (1848), two years; St. Louis, Mo. (1854), nine months; Salmon River, Idaho (1856), two months; Great Britain (1859), two years, and Ohio (1869), five months.
Grampa Bill is indebted to Brother Paul C. Andrus, one of the first five missionaries to enter Japan after World War II, and later a Mission President in the Land of the Rising Sun, for the information that Elder Milo Andrus, his great grandfather, had eleven wives and a total of fifty-seven children.
