Patriarchal blessings of Thomas S. Williams and Albina M. Williams

"Five patriarchal blessings given to Thomas S. Williams and Albina Merrill Williams: two were given to Thomas Williams in 1848 and 1845 respectively by the patriarchs John Smith and William Smith, and three were given to Albina in 1841, 1845, and 1848, by the patriarchs Hyrum, William, and John Smith. While today a church member receives only one patriarchal blessing, in the past it was not uncommon to receive two or three."
