[Note from record of Terrence Carlyle Smith -
Mary was 4th pleural wife of William Read Smith.  She was
rebaptized the same day as he was, 29 Sep 1856.  She was 14 years old when married.
They were married in Brigham Young's office.
She was endowed about eight years later and oddly, they were
re-sealed the day prior to her endowments, 10 Mar 1865.]

[We do need to check in the special collection department to
determine if the first four children need to be sealed if this date is correct]
