There is a book about him called "Biography of Henry Sudweeks" by Joseph Sudweeks (Lee Library, BYU, Provo)

At age 70, he polygamously married Emma Sudweeks, the forty-year-old daughter of his brother. He was sentenced on 14 May 1890 and received the minimum three years allowed by the Edmunds-Tucker Act (for incest), but was released after thirteen months on 27 June 1891.

An article from Church Chronology states "Henry Sudweeks was imprisoned in the penitentiary, having been sentenced in the Second District Court, at Beaver, to three years' imprisonment for alleged incest."
