It is not surprising that complaints about sealings to married women are “virtually absent from the documentary record”. Often the husbands had no idea of the marriages, and the “documentary record” was controlled by church power brokers. Further there is evidence that some of these women were involved in sexual relations with Smith while still cohabiting with their lawful husbands. Patty Sessions thought that her daughter was the spawn of Smith and notified her daughter of that. Subsequent DNA testing revealed that she was not Smith’s offspring. But what that clearly says is that Sessions was having sex with both men at about the same time. Further why should we expect most married women who had adulterous relationships with Smith to report that publicly? Sealings might be absent from the “documentary records” because they were illegal, adulterous and secret. Under such circumstance is hardly surprising that such are virtually absent. Then there is this, how much fear would there have been by a husband who complained about it? Smith’s power was almost absolute and he was willing to use it whenever he thought it necessary.
