Amelia Folsom Young was a plural wife of Mormon prophet Brigham Young, often rumored to be his favorite. The two were married January 1864 when Young was 61 and Folsom was 24. Her given name was Harriet Amelia Folsom, but she dropped her first name because there were already women named Harriet in the large Young household. Although scholars sometimes dispute the number of wives Young had, Amelia is probably his 50th.
