Tämä teksti on Brigham Youngin yliopistoon kuuluvan Joseph Fielding Smithin instituutin sivulta.

Tekstissä mainitaan nimeltä ne seitsemän naista, jotka olivat sinetöityjä Tayloriin, kaikki ennen vuotta 1850, sekä noista liitoista syntyneet lapset. Suhteet olivat siis luonteeltaan seksuaalisuhteita eivätkä hengellisiä liittoja, mikä tekee niistä todella polygaamisia. Elämäkerrassa dokumentoidaan myös Taylorin saapuminen Boulogneen, Ranskaan 18.6.1850, jolloin hän aloitti siellä kolmannen Euroopan-lähetystyönsä.
