He was born in Vermont on July 1, 1814. His parents were Leonard Wines and Rhoda Baldwin/Wines. Ira Doty Wines moved to Indiana, Greene County sometime before 1834 and married Jane Maria Shearer on May 20, 1834. Ira and Jane Maria had three sons, and Ira Wines died on December 28, 1844. Soon after her husband’s death, Jane Maria with her three sons moved to Council Bluffs (Kanesville), Iowa to join the Mormon Church migration to Utah. In 1850, Jane Maria and her sons were part of a wagon train traveling to Utah, under the leadership of William Snow, and soon after her arrival in Salt Lake, she married William Snow. Could Ira Doty Wines of Indiana been related to William Wines Phelps? That might have been the motivation for Jane Maria Shearer Wines to take her three young sons on the long journey west.

I did a bit of research and I came across this church site. I am sure it will answer your question(s):

In my readings he was excommunicated three times. Were any of those times the cause of Joseph Smith being in the Liberty jail? What did he say or do to get him excommunitcate and Joseph sent to Liberty jail.? And did he write Praise to the Man after Joseph was killed at the request of Emma?
Would be nice to know those answers…
