Big Love and Sister Wives: A Brief Comparison Between the Family Matriarchs

Here's a brief comparison of the grandmothers of Big Love and Sister Wives.

Yes, I know Lois and Adaleen are fictional characters, but they do present some common characteristics with  Genielle; mainly hospitality and love of family. Well, perhaps Lois not so much on the hospitality.

Anyway, one thing for sure, they certainly love their children, although I don't think Adaleen nor Lois would be as kind as Genielle if their son tried to eat half of her breakfast.




 
Genielle Brown
Lois Henrickson
Adaleen Grant









First wife of Winn Brown, mother of Kody Brown. Has 2 other sister wives.
Second* wife of Frank Harlow, mother of Bill Henrickson. Had 5 other sister wives (one deceased).
Sixth wife of Juniper Creek’s prophet Roman Grant, mother of Nicolette and Alby Grant. Had 13 other sister wives.



According to Kody, his mother would “fall on her sword for me.”
Sliced off the right arm of Hollis Greene with a large serrated knife when he dared to put a hand on her son Bill.
Conspired to have son Alby murdered in a rest stop men’s room. (Tap...Tap...Tap)



Was LDS, and converted to fundamentalism when Kody was in his teens. Was later excommunicated from the LDS church while Kody was on his LDS mission. Her sister wife Sheryl is Kody’s wife Janelle’s mother.
Lois’ father Orville Henrickson was prophet of Juniper Creek who died under mysterious circumstances. He was succeeded by his accountant, Roman Grant.
Adaleen has a complicated family tree. As she explains:“I'm 32 out of 56 children. And when I married Roman, I became my own step grandma as my father married Roman's daughter Faylene.   When I had Alby, he became my great uncle and I became his great great grandmother. Which of course makes me my own grandmother." Not to mention she also married her daughter’s ex-husband J.J.



Had problems with jealousy when Sheryl joined the family. As she puts it “I took care of kids and Sheryl took care of Winn.” Later, she got to know Sheryl better, and now considers her one of her very best friends.
Was notorious for her ill treatment of her sister wives. Of the concussions her sister wives suffered at her hands, she explained  "The Principle brings up our jealousies for the purposes of healing."
When Adaleen was asked how she could stand a particularly loathsome sister wife, she replied “I love her, and we are all equals. But last night I did dream I was trying to push her out the car  while driving along at a pretty quick clip.”

Double Dollar Ranch

You ask, you get. The Double Dollar Ranch is 8 sections of land in Lovell, WY. Winn's great grandfather, Ebenezer Brown, came from Salt Lake, UT and bought the land in 1902. They are very proud of the land's 5th generation heritage, and that is pretty cool in this day and age.


The listing is: Double Dollar Ranch IRR Trust; Brown, William W & Gordon Beh.
Mr. Beh is not in my Brown file- he may be a younger one; he lives in SLS.


The total acreage of land: 1,740; and many more acres leased from the BLM. The Ranch is a mixture of irrigated farm land and ranchland. That's one HUGE place to take care of.


Total number of structures: 6, all on the home place.
1. The home of Genielle and Winn Brown. Built 1920 (we've seen)
2. 3 single wide Mobile Homes, 1 and 2 bdrm., 1976-77models.
3. Retail Store, 1700 Sq. ft., built in 1930
4. A 200 Sq. ft. tool shed. (Geez, picky picky)
Total Value of land and structures: $627, 538


To me, the structures were assessed a bit high, at abt. $110,000.Depending on the class of land, some lots are valued far higher than others; one 80 acre lot is only worth 7,673- YIKES. Can you imagine what 80 acres next to Las Vegas would be worth?


I am sure Winn is very proud of his home place. Speaking of, how do you cut something like that up between all the kids? A legal nightmare, if you ask me. I've seen 2 siblings fight over everything but the hangers in the closet.


Comments? Thoughts? Learning about land from all over, aren't we?
