Biography

Joseph Young was the son of Brigham Young and Louisa Beaman, and the twin brother of Hyrum Young.^[1][2]

He was likely born in early 1846, as stated in some family records.^[1] Many records cite his birth year of 1848,^[2] but this is unlikely as his mother gave birth to another pair of twins, Alvah and Alma, on July 23, 1848. That birth date is supported by contemporary records.^[1] Hyrum and Joseph both died young.^[1][2]
