Actually, since you raise the issue, Romney has a very interesting historical connection to the massacre. Mormons carried out the massacre out of vengeance for the killing of Parley Pratt - of whom both Romney and Jon Huntsman are direct descendents and cousins.
Pratt was killed by the angry husband of a woman that Pratt had seduced and engaged in an adulterous affair with under the guise of “plural marriage” and Pratt’s close connection with Joseph Smith Jr. Pratt had convinced her to run off with him and, if I recall correctly, take the man’s children with her.
If I recall correctly, your mom had an affinity with the sailors of the 7th fleet.
Or maybe I was mistaken.
Really? I raise the issue? I guess your reposting of a very old article concerning an event that happened over six generations ago, was happenstance. And just coincidental that you happen to know the genealogical details of Romney's connection to it.
But, as I appear to have also brought up the issue of ancestral guilt, SO WHAT OF IT!? Unless you can prove a non-branching (possible) family tree of purity back to the beginnings of time, you are most definitely the genealogical remnant of heathens, murderers, rapists, and thieves. What have you got to say for yourself?
