Biography of Amasa M. Lyman - LDS Leader
Biography
A
Amasa Mason Lyman (March 30, 1813–February 4, 1877) (commonly known as Amasa M. Lyman) was an early leader in the Latter Day Saint movement. He was briefly an Apostle under Joseph Smith, Jr., filling a place in the Quorum of the Twelve that had been temporarily vacated by Orson Pratt. He resumed his place in the Quorum as led by Brigham Young after Smith's death. Much later, in the Utah|Utah Territory, he rejected Young's leadership and became the president of Godbeites church (a short-lived Latter Day Saint denomination). Amasa M. Lyman's posterity includes Francis M. Lyman and Richard R. Lyman, both of whom became apostles in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. ==Reference== *Loretta L.
