Thomas Joseph Steed (13 December 1826 – 26 June 1910) was an early Mormon pioneer in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[1][2] He was a polygamist, and author, with his diary being published posthumously in 1925.[3][4][5]
His descendants include a number of people that later formed the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, including Warren Steed Jeffs, Rachel Jeffs, Heleman Jeffs, Lyle Jeffs and Elissa Wall.[6][7][8]
