How old were you when you first learned JS practiced polyandry?
This is informatio was never disclosed through official channels for me. It was discovered through a BYU research assistant in my mid twenties, after having served a mission.
Here is a website fairly detailed. http://www.wivesofjosephsmith.org/ |

I remember asking my dad about polygamy when I was around deacon age. He went into pretty specific detail about Brigham Young, Joseph Smith and even Fanny Alger. I've always thought that everybody knew about it.

Fanny Alger was his first plural wife. And she was the cute Laurel that Emma got ticked over. |
I knew by the time I was 12 (if not earlier) that Joseph Smith and other church leaders practiced polygamy.
As for the claim that Joseph Smith was having intimate relations with women that were simultaneously married to someone else, I hadn't heard that claim until a few years ago. |

I doubt that was much of a dinner topic. Bushman confirms that sexual relations probably occurred with several of the polyandrous wives. |
