Biographical History
Mormon woman and Utah pioneer.
Early Mormon convert, plural wife of Joseph Smith, Jr., in 1843, and of Amasa Lyman in 1848; arrived in Utah in 1849.
Eliza Maria Partridge Smith Lyman was born on 20 April 1820 in Ohio to Edward and Lydia Clisbee Partridge. Her parents were well-to-do business people who joined the LDS faith and gave up their entire holdings to follow the prophet, Joseph Smith Jr. The family moved to Missour where they witnessed the tarring and feathering of their father at the hands of a mob. At age 23, Eliza and her sister, Emily, became a plural wife of Joseph Smith. Following the martyrdom of the prophet in 1844, she lived with the Coolidge family and then became a wife of Amasa Lyman, who later left the LDS Church. Eliza Lyman died in 1886.
Eliza Maria Partridge Lyman was born on April 20, 1820, in Painesville, Ohio. At the age of eight she traveled with her parents to visit relatives in Massachusetts, and her family became among the first to convert to Mormonism after a visit to New York. Eliza's father was made a bishop in the newly founded Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the family moved to Independence, Missouri, although they were forced out in 1833. After a stay in Caldwell County they settled in Nauvoo, Illinois. Eliza worked as a teacher, and after her father's death and her mother's remarriage to William Huntington she and her sister Emily went to live with the family of Joseph Smith. Eliza was sealed as a celestial wife of Smith in 1843. She lived with a family named Coolidge until her marriage to Amasa Lyman in 1846 (Lyman also married Eliza's sisters Lydia and Caroline). The Lymans left Nauvoo in 1846 and stayed at Winter Quarters until traveling to Salt Lake City in 1848. Eliza spent the rest of her life in Salt Lake, Fillmore, and Oak Creek, where she died on March 2, 1886.
