Franklin D. Richards (Mormon apostle)

Franklin Dewey Richards was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints from 1849 until his death. He served as the quorums president from 1898 until his death. He was the nephew of apostle Willard Richards, one of two men who survived the mob attack at Carthage Jail that took the life of LDS Church founder, Joseph Smith.

Richards was born in Richmond, Massachusetts. He married Jane Snyder in Nauvoo, Illinois. After helping her and their children start on the Mormon exodus to the west in 1846, Richards and his brother, Samuel, departed on a mission to Great Britain. He served there as a missionary from 1846 to 1848, and on at least two more occasions, during the 1850s and 1860s.
