Brigham Young and His Brothers--Two of our Grandfathers!

Yes, people!  Two of Brigham's brothers are our great-great-great (or how many it is for you) grandfathers.  They are sitting on either side of Brigham.  Lorenzo Dow Young, a younger brother, and on his right, Phineas Howe Young an older brother.  Don't say it--- Phineas looks like a cross between Hitler and one of the three stooges.  Don't get me wrong, and I hope he will still claim me -- blame it on
the style back then.  In fact his face is quite nice if you disregard the hair factors.  And I am so thankful and feel so blessed to be their descendant.
Phineas was the brother who was first exposed to the Book of Mormon and knew right away it was the word of God.  He is the one who introduced Brigham to it.
The brothers took a very active role in the church's early days with the brethren.  Phineas was a close friend and brother-in-law to Oliver Cowdery.  Lorenzo was with Brigham crossing the plains and stayed back with him before they entered the Salt Lake Valley for the first time.  Google their names for some great histories of each of them.
More to follow......and I hope I'm not struck down for being disrespectful....just wanted to be silly with my kids and grandkids.  (If anyone ever reads this.)
