Concerning your query regarding Brigham Young's mother: her maiden name was Abigail Howe (Young). Brigham's father, John, however, had parents named Joseoh and Betsy Hayden Treadway. Due to the similarity in name, this is probably the source of the confusion. (source: "Brigham Young, American Moses" by Leonard J. Arrington).
