William Smith on Brigham Young's Priestly Lineage

The following is from William Smith, brother of the Prophet Joseph Smith. Notice how he calls Brigham "Brig Ham" and attempts to nullify his priesthood by associating him with Judas who is a "Canaanite":

  

B. YOUNG’S LINEAGE

 

Joseph the Prophet placed his hands upon Brig Ham Young’s head and pronounced these words, “you are of the lineage of Cain through the loins of Ham.

 

JUDAS ISCARIOTS LINEAGE

 

John 13 VH. 2 V SAYS, “Judas Iscariot Simon’s son.” The 12 ch. 4 v. contains precisely the same words, Mark 3 ch. 18 v. calls, “Simon the Canaanite,” Mat. 10 ch. 4 v. contains the same words. John 13 ch. 26 v. says “Judas Iscariot the son of Simon.” From these quotations it is evident that Judas Iscariot was a Canaanite and our Saviour said “I have chosen you twelve and lo one is a devil.” He also describes him as “the son of perdition.”

 

A Canaanite apostle then belongs to that class of spiritual beings that transgressed in heaven and became devils. (Melchisedek & Aaronic Herald 1, no. 8 [February 1850]: [4])
