It is true the Constitution of the United States gives to us in common with all other native or adopted citizens, the right to enter and settle in Missouri, but an executive order has been issued to exterminate us if we enter the State, and that part of the Constitution becomes a nullity so far as we are concerned. Had any foreign State or power c o w t t e d a similar outrage upon us, we cannot for a moment doubt that the strong arm of the general government would have been stretched out to redress our wrongs, and we flatter ourselves that the same power will either redress our grievances or shield us from harm in our efforts to regain our lost property, which we fairly purchased from the general government.

1843 PETITION TO TEE UNITED STATES CONGRESS Lymmr D. Phtt

INTRODUCTION

The twentyeighth Congress of the United States, in its judiciary committee, has preserved a set of records called petitions and memorials. Under file number SEN 28A-G7.2, is a petition from the Mormon residents of Hancock County, IUinois, dated November 28th,1843, and referred to the judiciary committee on April 5th, 1844. The petition is entitled "Memorial of inhabitants of Nauvoo in Illinois, praying redress for injuries to their persons and properties by lawless proceedings of citizens of Missouri." It reads in part as follows:

To the honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United Smes in Congress assembled. The memorial of the undersigned inhabitants of Hancock County in the state of Illinois respectfully sheweth:

That they belong to the Society of Latter-Day Saints, commonly called Mormons, that a portion of our people commenced setcling in Jackson County, Missouri in the summer of 183 1, where they purchased lands and settled upon them with the intention and expection of becoming honoured citizens in common with others.

The injustices of Missouri are then outlined in three legal-sized pages of small script, as is contained in History of the Church and elsewhere. The tarring and feathering of Bishop Edward Pamidge and Brother Allen, the mob bearing a red flag and declaring extermination to the Mormons if they didn't leave Jackson County, the breaking in of the store of A.S. Gilbert, mob desbuction of property, the move to Clay and other counties, the voting scandle of August of 1838, the death of David W. Patten and some eighteen others, the extermination order, and the flight from Missouri are all detailed.

The petition then continues:

Your memorialists would further state, that they have heretofore petitioned your Honorable Body praying redress for injuries set

fwth in this memorial but the committee to whom our petition was referred, reported in substance, that the general government had no power in the case; and that we must look for relief to the courts and the Legislature of Missouri. In reply, your memorialjsts would beg here to state that they have repeatedly applied to the authorities of Missouri in vain, that though they are American citizens at all times ready to obey the laws and support the institutions of the Country, none of us would dare enter Missouri for any such purpose, or for any purpose whatever. Our property was seized by the mob, or lawlessly confiscated by the State, and we were forced at the point of bayonet t~ sign Deeds of Trust relinquishing our property but the exterminating order of the Governor of Missouri is still in force and we dare not return to claim our just rights. The widows and orphans of those slain, who could legally sign no deeds of nusf dare not return to claim the inheritance left them by their murdered parents.

It is true the Constitution of the United States gives to us in common with all other native or adopted citizens, the right to enter and settle in Missouri, but an executive order has been issued to exterminate us if we enter the State, and that part of the Constitution becomes a nullity so far as we are concerned.

Had any foreign State or power c o w t t e d a similar outrage upon us, we cannot for a moment doubt that the strong arm of the general government would have been stretched out to redress our wrongs, and we flatter ourselves that the same power will either redress our grievances or shield us from harm in our efforts to regain our lost property, which we fairly purchased from the general government.

Finally your memorialists pray your Honorable Body to take their wrongs into consideration, receive testimony in the case. and grant such relief as by the Constitution and Laws

you may have power to give. And your memorialists will ever pray, etc.

The whole number of signatures attached to the petition as recorded by H.G. Sherwood, city marshall, and Willard Richards, recorder, totalled 3419. Based on studies made by the Early Mormon Research Institute, it is estimated that 2105 of these lived within the city of Nauvoo proper. These names will be listed in these numbers of the Nauvoa Jouml. The names recorded from outside of Nauvoo will be listed at a later date.

The original petition is fifty-nine pages long. Signatures are included on pages 3-59. Sometimes family members signed the petition sequentially, sometimes not. At times the wife would sign in the doubled-column pages, in the right-hand column, opposite her husband. There are indications that some members of the Church living in Nauvoo at the time did not sign the petition. There is evidence that some adult members of f d e s signed while others did not.

It is the conclusion of the author that some of the individuals whose signatures are included in the petition, were never in Missouri, but they signed it in support of their friends and neighbors, and family members who were.

The pelition is not divided into any apparent sub-divisions, but based on other studies of Nauvoo and surroundings areas, there is strong evidence that is was taken somewhat like the 1842 census of Nauvoo, and is divided as follows:

Nauvoo 4th civil ward, pages 3-8 Nauvoo 3rd civil ward, pages 9-25 Nauvoo 1 st civil ward, pages 26-30 Nauvoo 2nd civiI ward, pages 31-36

Outlying areas around Nauvoo, probably including Warsaw, pages 37-44

Ramus, pages 45-49

Lima, pages 50-56+

The following index, therefore, includes Nauvoo proper, and is divided into columns by surname, given name, civil ward, and original petition page number. Some of the signatures were not my readable and those parts that could not be deciphered have been replaced with dashes. No name was totally unreadable. Only ten surnames could not be completely read and eight given names. Several

given names were only partially readable and severd others have question marks because what has been deciphered is the best guess but may not be correct

[Since this article was written in 1989, the complere text of all the M m n redress petitions have been compiled into a book by the Religious Studies Center, Brigham Young University, Provo: Utah, edited by Clark V. Johnson It is titled. Mormon Redress Petitions: Documents of the 1833-1838 Missouri Conflict, 1992.1
