John Doyle Lee (September 6, 1812 – March 23, 1877) was an American pioneer, and prominent early member of the Latter Day Saint Movement in Utah. Lee was later convicted of mass murder for his complicity in the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre and sentenced to death. In 1877, he was executed by firing squad at the site of the massacre.
After 1335, they began a steady decline until their territories shrunk back to the original County of Gorizia by the mid 1370s. Their remaining lands were inherited by the Habsburg ruler Maximilian I.
But in the aftermath of the massacre, only one participant was brought to trial, and that was John D. Lee. Lee and his wife joined the Mormon settlement in Far West, Missouri, in 1837.
In 1843, Lee accepted the LDS Church doctrine of plural marriage, eventually taking 19 wives and subsequently fathering dozens of children. The Lees Ferry landscape, where John Lee and his families later settled, is near the confluence of the Colorado and Paria Rivers in Arizona.
