JS frequently provided lots and other financial resources to church leaders, such as members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, or their wives. For example, in 1840, JS arranged to build homes for at least three of the wives of the apostles who were on a mission to England and promised to do the same for “any of the wives of the 12 that wish to live in Commerce.” In August 1843, JS pledged to donate a city lot to his scribe Willard Richards for him to build a house.

Clayton’s journal and the deed to the lot state that the transaction took place on 16 November, but JS’s journal states that it occurred on 17 November. It is possible that the deed was written on 16 November and approved or signed by JS on 17 November. It is also possible that the date in JS’s journal referred to when the deed was copied into the Nauvoo Registry of Deeds. (Clayton, Journal, 16 Nov. 1843; Nauvoo Registry of Deeds, Record of Deeds, bk. B, pp. 28–29; JS, Journal, 17 Nov. 1843; see also Trustees Land Book B, Galland Purchase, block 135, lot 4, p. 273.)
