“Two of the Sons of Ishmael and Their Families”

Alan C. Miner

According to John L. Sorenson, both Ishmael's sons had "families" (1 Nephi 7:6) who accompanied them. The term "families" implies a wife and at least one child each, but there likely were more children. [John L. Sorenson, "The Composition of Lehi's Family," in By Study and Also by Faith, p. 188]
