In addition to signing the bond with Tuttle, Gillet, and Horace Hotchkiss for approximately 400 acres of land, the First Presidency signed a bond with Hotchkiss on 12 August 1839 for 89½ acres that had belonged to William White. White received payment for this land by April 1840 and provided JS, Rigdon, and Hyrum Smith with a deed. The debt owed to Hotchkiss for the 89½ acres was renegotiated in October 1840, and Hotchkiss was given a new promissory note for $2,500 that was due eight months later. (Bond from Horace Hotchkiss, 12 Aug. 1839–B; Promissory Note to Horace Hotchkiss, 23 Oct. 1840; Hancock Co., IL, Deed Records, 1817–1917, vol. H, pp. 510–511, 20 July 1840, microfilm 954,598, U.S. and Canada Record Collection, FHL.)
Half the amount was to be paid to Hotchkiss in twenty interest payments of $1,500 each, due annually for the next twenty years, with a final principal payment of $25,000 due in 1859. The other half was to be paid to Tuttle and Gillet jointly in the same manner. JS, Rigdon, and Hyrum Smith made out forty-two promissory notes for these payments.
