Salmon Gee

Salmon Gee (October 16, 1792 – September 13, 1845) was an early Mormon leader and member of the Presidency of the Seventy of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Gee was born in Lyme, Connecticut to father, Zopher Gee and mother, Esther Beckwith. He moved to the Ashtabula, Ohio area at age 17. On December 10, 1814, he married Sarah Watson Crane. Together they had ten children. They moved to Geauga County, where Zebedee Coltrin baptized Gee in 1832. Seven months later, Sidney Rigdon ordained him an elder and Joseph Smith, Jr. appointed him leader of the Latter Day Saints in Thompson Township.

On April 6, 1837, Gee was appointed to fill the vacancy in the Presidency of the Seventy left open when Zebedee Coltrin was transferred to the high priest quorum. Sidney Rigdon and Hyrum Smith ordained him a seventy.
