[First Presidency Letter] Referring to your letter of December 21, this will advise you that there has been no change in the ruling of the Church regarding the bestowal of the Priesthood upon persons having colored blood. As to the ultimate fate of the colored people, the Prophet Joseph Smith is quoted as having said on one occasion:
'That the seed of Cain could not receive the Priesthood, nor act in any of the offices of the
Priesthood until the seed of Abel should come forward and take precedence over Cain's
offspring.'
[Source: First Presidency, Letter to Graham H. Doxey, as quoted in Minutes of the Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1910-1951, Privately Published, Salt Lake City, Utah 2010]
All the seed of Cain were destroyed in the Great Flood, and of course Abel did not have any seed, he having been murdered by Cain his brother before he could marry. Ham did not have a black wife named Egyptus. Seth and his unnamed wife were the progenitors of all the people on the earth today.

Seth was the 6th great-grandfather of Noah, the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan.
