PB William Stevens

Along with Clemency's PB I received William Stevens'. He was born on 13 December 1819 in Bridgewater, Somerset, England, married Emma Crowden in 1847, they were baptized in 1855 and crossed the plains with the Franklin Brown Company in 1860. He did the PB in 1869 and died in Oakley, Utah in 1902. Their son Theophilus Franklin was born on 27 June 1860 while they were crossing in Nebraska.
When I looked up William on FamilySearch it says he had two other wives, Ingrid Svensson and Charlotte Crowden (Emma's sister?). It says Charlotte was sealed to William in the Endowment House in 1874 and that she died around 1875. And Ingrid Svensson was born in 1821 in Hyby, Sweden and died in 1914 in Brigham City, Utah and that she married William in 1844 and they were sealed in the Endowment House in 1870. But it also says she was married to Carlos Lundmark in 1850 in Sweden and had a daughter in 1851. So I don't know if I would really believe he had two more wives. My Mom was up at the Family History Library in SLC and she found out that FamilySearch is going to be replaced by a new program. One of the new things is that not just anyone can add information about people you will have to be related to change information about dead people. This would be helpful since there is a lot of wrong information (misspelled names is common).
