Fanny Alger was born on September 20, 1816, as one of ten children to Samuel Alger and Clarissa Hancock Alger. In late 1833 or early 1834, the Smiths hired her as a domestic to assist in the Smith household in Kirtland, Ohio. According to one account, Joseph approached Fanny regarding a possible plural marriage through her Uncle Levi Hancock. Accor...
The precise timing of the plural marriage ceremony is unknown. Several researchers place the relationship in 1832–1833, but this is clearly too early. 3Mark Staker explains: Mary Elizabeth Rollins recalled that an angel commanding polygamy first appeared in 1834: “Joseph the Seer … said God gave him a commandment in 1834, to take other wives beside...

The clerk recorded: “Dublin November 16th, 1836 This day married by me Levi Eastridge a Justice of the Peace for Wayne County and State of Indiana Mr Solomon Custer and Miss Fanny Alger both ...
An important question related to the ceremony performed by Levi Hancock is the authority by which he acted. Obviously civil law would not ratify a polygamous marriage. While it is possible that the marriage occurred after April 3, 1836, and could have been a sealing in the new and everlasting covenant, it seems more likely that priesthood authority...
Fanny lived in Indiana for decades, raising a large family. She apparently joined the Universalist Church in 1874 and remained a member until her death in 1889. Her obituary stated: Late in life she reportedly rebuffed questions about her relationship with Joseph Smith: “That is all a matter of my own, and I have nothing to communicate.”16 Although...
