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])
