More extensive transcripts of JS’s revelatory-prophetic blessings for Rigdon and Williams, the two men closest to him in church leadership, are recorded in Patriarchal Blessings, 1:13. JS blessed Oliver Cowdery, the other general church leader, on 18 December 1833, as recorded in this journal. (Blessing to Oliver Cowdery, 2 Oct. 1835; Blessing to Frederick G. Williams, 2 Oct. 1835; Blessing to Sidney Rigdon, 2 Oct. 1835.)
Patriarchal Blessings, 1833–. CHL. CR 500 2.
Oliver Cowdery handwriting ends; Frederick G. Williams begins.
The date of these baptisms is incorrect. On 13 and 14 October, JS was at the home of Freeman Nickerson in Perrysburg, New York. The baptisms referred to here took place on 27 and 28 October at Mount Pleasant, Upper Canada, the residence of Nickerson’s son Eleazer Freeman Nickerson. Scribe Frederick G. Williams may have mistakenly dated this list based on the journal entries for the early part of JS’s journey, where the name Freeman Nickerson first appears. (See entries for 13 and 27–28 Oct. 1833.)
