We are in possession of information that Ishmael, whose daughters were wives of Lehi’s sons, was of the tribe of Ephraim; and that the servant of Laban was of the same tribe; and Ishmael had two sons also; and when Laman and Lemuel, the sons of Lehi, revolted from Nephi, the whole family of Ishmael revolted with them except the wives of Nephi and Sam. Hence the Lamanites were principally Ephraimites. . . . It may be proper to state, that our information of the origin of this family of Ishmael is derived from the 116 pages of the Book of Mormon, that were stolen from the possession, in Manchester, New York.
