Charles William Worthington Appleton was a doctor in Ohio, a Methodist preacher in Indiana, a temperance lecturer with the New Jersey Temperance Society, and a professor of Animal Magnetism (hypnosis). He was a bigamist, having had at least five wives in different parts of the country, several at the same time. Though he was a popular temperance lecturer around the country, Appleton was also an alcoholic and frequently went on drinking binges. While in New Jersey, he became acquainted with William Smith, the younger brother of Joseph Smith, Jr. who founded Mormonism. William Smith was a follower of James J. Strang who founded the Church of Latter Day Saints (Strangite), which broke away when Brigham Young took over the church. Appleton was made an Apostle of the Strangite church until excommunicated due to his alcoholism.
