In 1844, this document was filed at the Hancock County Circuit Court in , Illinois. Sometime in the ensuing decades, it was transferred to the Illinois State Archives. In 2000, the Micrographic Services Division of the Illinois State Archives microfilmed a subset of Hancock County Circuit Court case files from 1830 to1900 that were descriptively titled, “Cases pertaining to Mormon residents.” In 2000, staff of the Church Historical Department (now CHL) obtained a copy of this microfilm from Karl Moore, a managing archivist of the Illinois Regional Archives Depository (IRAD) program. In 2013, the microfilm was cataloged. Subsequent efforts by the Joseph Smith Papers Project to locate the original records at the IRAD depository for Hancock County records were unsuccessful. As of 2022, the document is unlocated.
