The 14 year old you are referring to is my 3rd great grandmother, Helen Mar Kimball. Her personal journals and her other writings don't agree with your characterization of what took place. I've gotten used to her being defamed, but it still bothers me. If you are interested in what actually transpired: Her father, Heber Kimball offered Helen to be sealed to Joseph, to create a spiritual link between the Kimball family and the Smith family. Helen understood it to be like a spiritual betrothal. Nothing much changed about her life after the sealing. She still lived at home with her parents, she went to school and did chores. She later married Horace Whitney, my 3rd great grandfather, when she was 18 years old and had 11 children with him! She was the first of three wives. Yes, my great grandparents were polygamists. You can call that strange if you want, but stop defaming her or spreading lies that she was "seduced" or taken advantage of by anyone. Use someone else to disparage Joseph Smith.
