JS, Sidney Rigdon, and Elias Higbee signed a memorial that was presented to the United States Senate on 28 January 1840 and that similarly gave fifteen thousand as the number of Latter-day Saints driven from Missouri in fall 1838. However, this estimate may more closely reflect the total church membership at the time, as the number of Saints expelled from Missouri was likely between eight and ten thousand. (Memorial to the United States Senate and House of Representatives, ca. 30 Oct. 1839–27 Jan. 1840.)
See Luke 18:1–8.
On 30 October 1838, more than two hundred Missouri vigilantes attacked approximately thirty Latter-day Saint families in the Caldwell County, Missouri, settlement of Hawn’s Mill. Ten Latter-day Saint men and boys were killed in the attack while another seven were fatally wounded. At least one woman and thirteen men and boys were also injured. None of the attackers was killed.
