Soon after his 1879 visit to the eastern states, Martineau met with President John Taylor to discuss the possibility of being ritually sealed to his biological parents, who had died without hearing the restored gospel. Temple policy prohibited child-to-parent sealings if the father did not hold the priesthood, however, and he eventually agreed to be adopted to his first wife’s Mormon parents.
