Martha, To answer your question....No Joseph Younger who was arrested with Joseph Smith did not go to Utah. He left the original Mormon Church & later joined the Reformed Latter Day saints (RLDS) .That was after he joined up with Jesse Strang & later Charles B.Thompson and their groups.After Joseph Smith was killed there was plenty of fighting amongst the group as to who would lead the church.Many little splinter groups formed out of the original elders.And Joseph Younger followed a few of them.He himself was an elder in the original church & later was with the new branches also.Joseph Younger was also a Doctor and traveled all over the place on his mission work. Taking his family with him as he went in the early years. Joseph was the son of Thomas Younger & Mary "Polly " Nall. Now Joseph's sister Mary Younger who married Mayberry did go to Utah with her family. In the 1840's The Younger's and the Mayberry's were all were in Nauvoo Illinois together. Mary Younger Mayberry went out with Brigham Young to Utah in 1846 .Their mother Mary Nall Younger was actually part of the women's relief society in Nauvoo. They had quite a fascinating life so far as I can tell .Those were hard times to be sure. Leni --------------------------------- The fish are biting. Get more visitors on your site using Yahoo!
