lived in the same house as five of Pratt's other wives and helped them in raising their children. Eleanor Jane McComb (1817–1874). Married Pratt on November 14, 1855. Pratt's constant missions left him little time with his family. After he started practicing plural marriage, the longest period of time he had with his family were the 18 months following his return from a mission to Chile. According to Terryl L. Givens and Matthew J. Grow, Pratt's "highest happiness was to be surrounded by a teeming domestic world of multiple wives and offspring." They noted that he also had an "antisocial bent". One of Pratt's grandsons, William King Driggs, was the father of the King Sisters. Mitt Romney, the Massachusetts governor (2003–07) and the 2012 Republican nominee for the U.S. presidency, is one of Pratt's great-great-grandsons. One of Pratt's great-great-great-grandsons is Jon Huntsman, the former Utah governor and Ambassador to China, and an unsuccessful candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. Memorials Pratt explored, surveyed, and built the first public road in Parley's Canyon, Salt Lake City, which is named in his honor. His escape from the Columbia Jail on July 4, 1839, has been commemorated in Columbia, Missouri, with a "freedom run" each Independence Day since 1983.
