[Nauvoo] As the Church or its members have little hard money, they have scanty means to purchase properties. However, several arrange to exchange property owned by them in Missouri to the sellers, who accepted the properties in payment. It is not known if the sellers ever collected on the other properties. Joseph Smith and the Church assumed the debt and tried for years to liquidate it. Missionaries are sent to Mormons and non-Mormons in the East and South asking them to exchange their properties and many do so. (2)
[Nauvoo] Commerce City remained a mostly paper town as no lots were actually sold. (2)
[Nauvoo] The Church makes four purchases of land at the "head of the rapids" in Illinois, totaling nearly 660 acres. (2)
