One of her reasons for leaving was to prevent Jeffs from marrying her daughter - nine of Merrill Jessop's daughters are believed to be married to Jeffs, according to experts who study the sect. Other names bandied about as the potential next Prophet include Jeffs' brother Isaac and even another Jessop - William Roy Jessop. The Utah dossiers sent to Texas describe Willie...
