====Lucy Harris====
 
(Wife of Martin Harris)

*Claimed that Martin Harris said the Mormonism was false, and that "if you would let me alone, '''I could make money by it.'''"
 
*Claimed that Martin Harris "has whipped, kicked, and turned me out of the house."
 
*Claimed that Martin Harris was having an affair with a neighbor's wife.

*Despite the fact that Lucy Harris makes no mention of the lost 116 pages of manuscript from the ''Book of Mormon'', Fawn Brodie in her book [[No Man Knows My History: The Life of Joseph Smith]] actually concludes that Harris beat his wife in order to get her to divulge what she had done with the lost 116 pages of manuscript.

===Lucy and Abigail Harris are the only two individuals who claimed that Martin Harris was hoping to make money from Mormonism===
 
 
 
It is interesting to note the similarity between the testimony for both women. It is more interesting however, to note how Abigail Harris has added the phrase "What if it is a lie," while Martin's wife, Lucy, did not. If Martin actually believed that Mormonism was a lie, why would his wife Lucy not have mentioned this? <ref>{{Nibley11_1|start=115}}</ref>
