Footnotes
McIntire’s account of this meeting held “Tuesday the 12th” directly follows another account describing a Nauvoo meeting in January 1840, but 1840 appears to be an incorrect year because JS was in the Philadelphia area in January 1840 and McIntire did not live in Nauvoo at that time. McIntire, recording at the first of a new year, may have meant to write 1841 instead of 1840. (Historical Introduction to Letter to Emma Smith, 20–25 Jan. 1840.)
According to records associated with the store he operated in the area, Davis resided in the vicinity of Commerce, Illinois, as early as 1836. (Lyon, “Account Books of the Amos Davis Store at Commerce, Illinois,” 241.)
