Young was a polygamist, marrying a total of 55 wives, 54 of them after he converted to Mormonism. The policy was difficult for many in the church. Young stated that upon being taught about plural marriage, "It was the first time in my life that I desired the grave." By the time of his death, Young had 56 children by 16 of his wives; 46 of his children reached adulthood. In 1902, 25 years after Young's death, The New York Times established that Young's direct descendants numbered more than 1,000. In 2016 Brigham Young was estimated to have around 30,000 descendants.
