Biography
Parentage
His mother, Clarrisa Chrisey Cutler (1824-1852) and her sister Emily Trask Cutler (1828-1852), were both plural wives to the early LDS Church leader, Heber Chase Kimball (1801-1868) who they married in 1845, Nauvoo, Illinois (he had 45 wives and 64 children). By him they each had one son. But when Heber and the main church body began the westward migration to the Salt Lake Valley, Clarrisa and Emily divorced Heber to stay behind with their father, Alpheus Cutler (1783-1864) who was leading a breakaway group called the Cutlerites and settled in Iowa.
Story from the Heber's Biography: Life of Heber C. Kimball, an Apostle, the father and founder of the British Mission:
"Among his wives when he came out of Nauvoo were Clarissa and Emily Cutler, sisters, both the daughters of Alpheus Cutler, who left the Church while at Winter Quarters. When the Saints removed to the Rocky Mountains, Clarissa and Emily remained with their father, each with an infant son in arms. Clarissa's child was named Abram A. and Emily's Isaac. Feeling impressed that their mothers would never come to the mountains, Heber, on leaving them to go west with the pioneers, blessed his little sons and, while his hands were upon Abram's head, prophesied that he would some day come to the home of his people, and would afterwards return for his brother Isaac. There was a fatality in his father's words, as usual.
"Fifteen years later, the mothers of both boys being dead (both died in 1852), Abram came to Utah and joined the Church. He was baptized by Enoch Reese, under his father's direction. On returning to the house after his baptism, his father confirmed him, ordained him an Elder and set him apart for a mission to the states, to go and bring his brother to Utah, thus resealing the blessing bestowed upon him in his childhood. Abram fulfilled his mission and returned, bringing his brother with him. Isaac also was baptized, and he and Abram afterwards went upon missions to Great Britain. The latter is now Bishop of Kanosh, Millard County, Utah. "
His mother was a polygamous wife of Heber C Kimball. They married on 29 February 1845 and separated in 1848. Afterwards she married Calvin Fletcher, but then died shortly after that.
