Wife’s Name	Witness	Quotation	Reference
Eliza Maria Partridge	Benjamin F. Johnson	“Later the Prophet again Came and at my house occupied the Same Room & Bed with my Sister that the month previous he had occupied with the Daughter of the Late Bishop Partridge as his wife.”[1]	Dean R. Zimmerman, ed., I Knew the Prophets: An Analysis of the Letter of Benjamin F. Johnson to George F. Gibbs, Bountiful, UT: Horizon, 1976, 44.
	Benjamin F. Johnson	“The first plural wife brought to my house with whom the Prophet stayed, was Eliza Partridge…”	Benjamin F. Johnson to Anthon H. Lund, May 12, 1903, CHL;
	Self	“I saw one of my sisters married to him [Joseph Smith] and know that with her he occupied my house on May 16 and 17, 1843, which he had occupied with Eliza Partridge, another plural wife, on the 2^nd of the previous month.”	“More Testimony,” Letter dated March 9th, 1904, Deseret Evening News, April 12, 1904.

[1] This citation is ambiguous regarding which “daughter of the late Bishop Partridge” might be involved, either Emily or Eliza. Other testimony from Johnson corroborates both Partridge sisters stayed with Joseph Smith at different times.
