Born 12 June 1888, Leroy Johnson, spent many of his childhood years in Big Horn County, Wyoming among family and friends, some of whom questioned the validity of the 1890 Manifesto. He became acquainted with fundamentalist ideas in 1928 after his brother Price introduced him to John Woolley in Centerville, Utah. Soon thereafter he quietly entered plural marriage, and continued his membership in the LDS Church. He listened to Church President Heber J. Grant speak in Kanab, Utah at a Zion Stake Conference on 14 September 1931. Despite President Grant's harsh criticism of post-1904 polygamy, Leroy seemed to find assurance that the principle was right and should be perpetuated.

LeRoy was the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS Church), a religious group that practices plural marriage and was based in Colorado City, Arizona.
