While visiting with Zina she
related conversation that occurred between her and a Sister “Repshere”
upon events in Nauvoo, where the Prophet Joseph Smith Sealed her, Sister
Reps=here, to a judge Adams of Springfield Illinois.
The Prophet stated to her
(Repsher) that Judge Adams was a literal descendant of Jesus Christ
The judge died in Nauvoo and
Sister Repshere, his wife who had been married before to Repshere, died at Mill
Creek. Utah. (Journal
& History of Oliver B. Huntington, December 30, 1886, 16:146-47)
I met that day at the Hall of
Relicks. Hopkins G. Pendar an old Nauvoo Mormon and from him learned that
Joseph Smith just before he was killed made a sketch of the future home of the
Saints in the Rocky Mountains and their rout or road to that country as he had
seen in vision; a map or drawing of it. Levi <W.> Hancock drew a coppy of
that map, which coppy H. G. Pendar had seen. He said that Levi W. Hancock told
him that there <was> 4 coppies of that map taken—one of which Brigham
Young kept, one was carried by the Mormon Battallion by which they knew where
to find the Church, or, Salt Lake Valley. (Journal
& History of Oliver B. Huntington, September 27, 1897, 18:78-79)
To my fellow LDS history nerds: Anyone have any idea re. this map and
its purported copies? If so, drop me an email at ScripturalMormonismATgmailDOTcom—it
would be important to my work on Joseph Smith’s prophecies and related topics
