The lineage of Alma the Younger is a set of minor figures from the Book of Mormon who descended from Alma the Younger. They are described as Nephite record-keepers, missionaries and prophets. Family tree Ammaron Ammaron should not be confused with Amaron, Ammoron, or Amoron, three other Book of Mormon figures with similar names. According to the Book of Mormon, Ammaron (; Ammoron a frequent scribal variant in the Printer's Manuscript) was a Nephite record-keeper and perhaps a prophet. He was also one of the authors who wrote on the Plates of Nephi, which Mormon abridged. Ammaron took custody of the Nephite records after the death of his brother, Amos, in AD 306 and three verses contain Mormon's abridgment of his writings. In 321, he hid all the Nephites' sacred writings in the Hill Shim in the Land of Antum. He later instructed the ten-year-old future prophet Mormon to wait until he was 24 and then take the Plates of Nephi from the hill (leaving the other writings hidden) and continue the record. Amos, son of Amos According to the Book of Mormon, Amos was a Nephite record keeper. His father was Amos, and his grandfather was Nephi III, Son of Nephi the Disciple. Mormon is thought to have abridged his record which consists of 26 verses in the Book of 4th Nephi. Amos must have been exceptionally long-lived, for he had custody of the Nephite records for 112 years, approximately from AD 194 to 306 (although a certain commentator suggests that this Amos may be referring to at least two different people). are an abridgment of his writings. When Amos died, his brother Ammaron took over as record keeper. Amos' record relates the degeneration of the society of the Nephites after the appearance of Jesus on the American continent. This degeneration is due to the pride of the people. Amos, son of Nephi According to the Book of Mormon, Amos was a Nephite record keeper and son of Nephi the Disciple. Amos had custody of the Nephite records for 84 years, from approximately AD 110 to 194. Upon his death the Book of Mormon record passed to his son Amos. Two verses, , are an abridgment (by Mormon) of his writings: 19 And it came to pass that Nephi, he that kept this last record, (and he kept it upon the plates of Nephi) died, and his son Amos
