Tell me, how is it that so many single women were sealed to Joseph Smith after his death, if what you said is true? Thank you for your comment.

The church requires some documentation from an unimpeachable source such as a death certificate, marriage certificate, or census where the person claims another as spouse, in writing. Those are the rules. If something other than that happened, you can be assured it is a clerical error and the sealing did not take place. In some cases, the member who submitted the dead couple's name connects the wrong person. That means they got the wrong John Smith connected with Mary Jones. In such cases, the sealing, if it took place, is not valid. That certainly seems to be the case with the good Father Damian.
