[Polygamy] Fanny Alger age 16, According to George D. Smith, Alger's marriage to Smith may have been attested to by several people, including Emma Smith, Warren Parish, Oliver Cowdery, and Heber C. Kimball. Compton cites Mosiah Hancock's holographic report of his father Levi's account of the marriage ceremony of Smith and Alger, and records his father's account of the negotiations between Levi and Smith in procuring their respective wives. Compton also notes that nineteenth century Mormons in Utah, including Benjamin Johnson, Heber C. Kimball and Andrew Jenson, and former Mormons Chauncey Webb and Ann Eliza Webb Young regarded the Smith-Alger relationship as a marriage. Historian Lawrence Foster asserts a claim that later Mormons may have falsely assumed there was a marriage where there was only a sexual relationship: he views the marriage of Alger to Joseph Smith as "debatable supposition" rather than "established fact".
