The chair will be kept in the Beehive or Lion houses where it was most likely used by Lucy Decker Young, he said. Lucy Decker and Brigham Young had seven children, including the Young brothers' ancestor, Ernest Irving Young.

The Young brothers were presented with a book about Brigham Young and files containing their family history compiled by a church employee.

The chair is a bentwood-style rocker, recognizable by armrests that curve into a spiral connecting with the seat of the chair, said Richard Oman of the church's historical department.

Oman said the style was popular from 1840-1890 and the chair in question probably dated to the 1870s.

Skip Young said he has a platter that was part of Brigham Young's china that he will use for one last Thanksgiving and then donate to the church's history department.
