Nauvoo City Council Meeting, 12 May 1843

Calendar of Documents

The following is a calendar of documents known to be related to this meeting of the city council. In cases where there are multiple versions of documents, particularly city ordinances, all versions are listed here, with links to versions that are extant. Documents are listed on this calendar only when there is evidence that a separate document was created. Because it is not clear that parliamentary procedure was consistently followed in city council meetings, mere mention of a motion in the minutes is not sufficient evidence that a separate document was created as a result. For more information, see Introduction to Nauvoo City Council Records.

George Walker wrote some of the entries on page 159 of the Nauvoo City Council Minute Book. Walker arrived in Nauvoo in May 1843 and was recommended as a clerk for JS 11 May 1843. Hence, none of the entries written after the Walker entries could have been written previous to 11 May 1843. Sloan left on a mission for Ireland 30 July 1843. (Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Minutes, 11 May 1843; JS, Journal, 30 July 1843.)
