It is unclear if Edgerton joined the church. Although Edgerton passed through Utah Territory en route to California in 1850, he appears to have returned to Illinois by 1855. (1850 U.S. Census, Green River Precinct, Utah Territory, 163; 1852 California State Census, El Dorado Co., 186; 1855 Illinois State Census, Galesburg, Knox Co., IL, 388–389.)

The identity of “Mr Reynolds” is unknown. JS expected church members in Quincy to report on the ongoing efforts to arrest and extradite him. The unidentified Reynolds may have been part of that group. (Letter to Emma Smith, 16 Aug. 1842; David S. Hollister, Quincy, IL, to Hyrum Smith, Nauvoo, IL, 12 Aug. 1842, JS Office Papers, CHL; Historical Introduction to Letter from George Miller, 4 Sept. 1842.)
