[Nauvoo Temple] Last sealings of living spouses were administered. There were 2,420 couples sealed.
The Twelve met in the attic and Brigham Young dedicated the temple thus far completed, leaving the building in the hands of the Lord. A fuller account reads: "The Twelve met in the southeast corner, room No. 1, the upper story in the temple, kneeling round the altar and dedicating the building to the most high and asked His blessings upon our iintended move to the west, also asking Him to enable them someday to finish the lower part of the building and dedicated it to Him and to preserve the temple as a monument to Joseph Smith, the Twelve, then left."

Brigham Young and other apostles meet in Nauvoo Temple for the last time: "We knelt around the altar and dedicated the building to the Most High. We asked his blessing upon our intended move to the west; also asked him to enable us one day to finish the Temple, and dedicated it to him and we would leave it in his hands to do as he pleased; and to preserve the building as a monument to Joseph Smith." Later that day Young "addressed the saints in the grove and informed them that the company going to the west would start this week across the river."

[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 8th Sunday I had some plesant dreams last night in visiting my friends. When I awoke the first sound I heard was from the steward saying After so long a time the wind has Changed in our favor And that we were running on our course ll 1/2 nots an hour before a good fare breeze. This was Joyful news to us. It cheered up our spirits As we had been warring Against Head winds ever since we had left Liverpool over 17 day during which time we had got ownly about 1,200 miles And we have got nearly 3,000 miles yet to go.
We dressed ourselves & went on deck And it was truly a glorious view. All the sails were well filled & we were plunging through the ocean like the horse rushing to battle. The log was flung at 12 oclok And it was found the ship was running 13 not an hour on our course. As we have had bad beginning I hope we may have good ending. A squall struck us at 4 oclok. The Log was Flung. All the line run from the reel befor the sand was out. It was supposed to be running 14 not an hour which is as fast as the Ship Could Sail. This is the first day we have had A fair wind A whole day since we left Liverpool.

Mormon History, Feb 4, 1846
Facing further harassment, thousands of the Mormons, but not all, leave Nauvoo on a great march west. Some of them follow James J. Strang and settle in Michigan; others follow Rigdon to the east, while others settle in other parts of the Midwest. Brigham Young, who is head of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, a church leadership body, directs the exodus. Their winter departure causes great hardship, but in four months the Mormons will travel more than 300 miles to temporary quarters along the Missouri River where it divides Iowa and Nebraska. There they will wait out the winter of 1846-47 before beginning their westward trek again.

The first companies of Mormons leave Nauvoo and cross the Mississippi River. Thomas L. Kane recalls, "The people of Iowa have told me that from morning to night they passed westward like an endless procession. They did not seem greatly out of heart, they said; but at the top of every hill, before they disappeared they were to be seen looking back, like banished Moors, on their abandoned homes and far-seen temple and its glittering spires." The first companies had to ford the river until Feb 24 when it froze and they were able to cross over the ice. Brigham Young remains in Nauvoo until Feb 15.

The anxiety are so great that the Brethren would have us stay here & continue the endowments until our way will be Hedged up-& our enemies intercept us- but I tell you Brethren that it will not do- this is not the last Temple that we will build-- in this house we have been payed- well if we were to receive no more - & I tell that there will be double the anxiety manifest to build the next- that there was to Ericte this -- then be satisfied -- I am going to load up my waggon & be away from this place- immediately- I walked off some little distance from the Temple soposing the crowd would disperse-but on returning to the Temple again- I found the House thronged to overflowing looking upon the multitude & knowing the anxiety of the Brethren- that were thirsting & hungering for the word- we commenced sealing & anointing- & continued & continued also the washings Night & Day- putting through from 2 to 300 Persons within 24 hours- & spent the the night.

Notwithstanding that Brigham Young had announced that "we would not attend to the administration of the ordinances," the Nauvoo temple is surrounded by a crowd of Mormons wanting to receive endowments. Young relents and "two hundred and ninety-five persons received ordinances." This includes sixty-two-year-old Alpheus Cutler, Council-of-Fifty member, who takes five new wives increasing his total to seven.

[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 3d This is the first day on the voyage we have heard the command to square the yards. Wind is now favorable. We run 8 not an hour in the morning. At 12 oclok the wind changed again dead ahead. We run the ship on the Southern tack. We again have to contend with a strong head wind. We shiped a vary heavy sea And wet many of the passengers And upset the Negros Cook galley. There is one sail in sight on our lee bow. Elder Stratten Appetite is some improveing. Mr Hastings is still rather feble. A squll struck us at 3 oclok but lasted but a few moments.
At oclok one of the most exciting seens took place that I ever saw at sea. The second Mate steped forward to the bow of the ship & ordered one of the hands to do sumthing on the bowsprit. He refused upon the principle that it was dangerous & a risk of his life. The Mate said He would not ask a man to do a thing that he was not willing to do himself And stept forward to do it while at the same moment they shiped A sea which instantly washed him overboard.
The seas were running high & the ship going 8 not an hour. The cry of second mate overboard was instantly rung through the ship. Ropes was flung to him but he cold not get them. The Bouy was next flung to him. He swam hard to get to it but He could not get it as the seas were runing so high. It floated to the leeward of him. The Capt then gave orders to we[ar?] the ship which was done as spedily as possible. Still it took several minutes. The Life boat was let down at the same time maned by Harry the Boatswain And four others hands. Notwithstanding the High seas they managed the boat well. The Mate continued to swim for 15 or 20 minutes amid the raging billows even untill the life boat was within A few rods of him when He instantly sunk to rise no more.
They remained on or near the spot whare he was last seen both with the life boat & Ship for near an hour but nothing more was seen of him. The life boat then came along side And it was with great difficulty they got on board of the Ship as they came near being swamped several times but after evry exhertion being made they were obliged to trim there sails to the wind & continue there course & leave there mate in his watery grave speaking loudly that while in life we are in the midst of death. The captain & crew seemed much affected by the incident.
His Name was William Drummond An American, native of Flushing Long Island New York. His Parents live near the city of New York. Was A single man. Had been in the East India trade with this same Captain William Howland. This was his first trip in the Liverpool trade And was now on his return hom. Was A stirring Ambitious young man. Was remarking last night what pleasure He would have in taking tea with his Mother on his arival in New York. But his hopes are suddenly blasted And A Mother will be disappointed.
Harry the Boatswain was Appointed to take his place And all is going on as though nothing had happened.

M. I met in council in Room No 1 with the 12 & the Trustees & some few others- the Topiac of our council- was to ascertain the feelings of the Brethren that were expecting to set out Westward the feelings of the council were undivided-with regard to our move my advise to them was to procure boats & hold them in readiness- to convey our waggons & teams over the River- & let everything necessary for the Journey be had in readiness- that when a Family is called to go- that all things may be in the waggon within 4 hours at least for it is my opinion that if we are here 10 days- that our way will be Hedged up- They are calculating to intercept our way & whenever we start but we want to be 500 miles from here before they are aware of our move-& in order to have this circulated privately & effectually- we had better Notify the captains of Fifties & 100 to meet at 4. o. Clock this evening at the house of Father Cutler' & then & there lay the matter before them (the captains of 100's) & let all corberate together & move as one Man- at this juniture 3 messengers were started to notified the capt. of companys & by the time this council closed- at 4 I met with the capts of cos & layed the plan before them they all assented to my proposals- & all dispersed the better to bring about our purposes as but little time was to IIs lost. I here received a package of Letters & Papers some of them were from England & some of them were from the Eastern States- The sun was near down when the meeting adjourned- we then returned to our labours in the Temple- & continued then till near 9. oclock before leaving I gave instructions to my Clerks not to stop until the record of the endowments are brought up so that= nothing may escape the Notice as for the want recording in a legible & intelegable- Then to let the work of sealings & anointings & if any one wants to be sealed & we have the time to attend to it- let them make out the records themselves- & that will be their way--- Feb 2nd [Feb 1846]

Brigham Young counsels the "captains of hundreds and fifties" to have all families in Nauvoo ready to move out of town on four hours' notice. Zina Diantha Huntington Jacobs Smith, pregnant with the second son of Henry Jacobs, is resealed by proxy to the murdered Joseph Smith and in the same session is "sealed for time" to Brigham Young. Her legal husband, Henry B. Jacobs, stands by as an official witness to both ceremonies. After the ceremony she and her children live with Young and Zina bears him a daughter. Jacobs, years later, writes to her of his sadness over losing his wife and children.

[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] Feb 1st 1846 Sunday I arose quite unwell this morning being rocked so badly through the night. We have a calm this morning. This is the 10th day since we left Liverpool And it is supposed we are still in the mouth of the British Channel opposite Cape Clear about 300 miles from Liverpool. About what we ought to make in 24 hours with a good fair breeze. This is bad beginning. Certainly what the end will be time must determin. I read the latest London times to day but found nothing important in them. It is still gloomy times with us.

[Hosea Stout Diary] Saturday Jany 31 1846. Arose at 6 oclock all was wellPrest J. P. Harmon notified me that the Eleventh Quorum was going to have their endowment to day and wanted me and wife to attendI went home and brought her down and after staying awhile went with John Scott to see Br A. Cutler about the dissension of the Police and wanted him to and have the matter laid in a proper manner before the TwelveThis was about noon.I think some thing is wrong in the minds of the Twelve in relation to this matter but how it appears to them I know not.But I feel that I have done my duty in protecting their lives from their enemies both from within and without which thing has brought down the indignation of the mob and also false brethren upon me & my life is threatened by both and diligently sought for as I walk in the streets but whether I live or die I am determined to sustain the Twelve and the Authorities of this kingdom although I feel that some very unexpected catastrophe is going to happen
because of false brethren
I went up in the Temple again at one, and remained there untill about 3 then sent my wife home and met the guard and regulated it & Police for the night and came home and staid all night.

Allen I went home & took dinner and then met the guard and then saw Br Alpheus Cutler who wanted to see me.He informed me that a company was organized to steal our waggons as fast as we got them done to prevent us from moving west.I then gave him a full statement of the nature of the dissension in the "Old Police"He had a better understanding of it than any man which I had before talked with and seemed to comprehend the Spirit by which they were actuated and informed me of evil plotting against me which I had not heard of and also that my life was threatened by some in very positive terms.I felt that he was my friend.
I went from the Temple to Hunters & returned to the Temple after supper and staid all night.

[Mormon Battalion] The battalion was the direct result of Brigham Young's correspondence on 26 January 1846 to Jesse C. Little, presiding elder over the New England and Middle States Mission. Young instructed Little to meet with national leaders in Washington, D.C., and to seek aid for the migrating Latter-day Saints, the majority of whom were then in the Iowa Territory. In response to Young's letter, Little journeyed to Washington, arriving on 21 May 1846, just eight days after Congress had declared war on Mexico.

[Hosea Stout Diary] Sunday Jany 25th 1846. Went home very earley and took breakfast and returned to the Temple to meet the guardafter detailing the guard for the day Br G. W. Langley came to me and demanded of me to call the old Police together to themselves as there was something to settle, they met in the Temple cellarHe was dissatisfied at my proceeding in some instances and in particular because I had appointed E. Luddington sergeant of the guard at the Temple and swore in absolute terms that he would not submit to it but said the rest of the police might do as they pleased.He said many hard & inflammatory things about my course in the guard which was calculated to disaffect those who were well disposed to do their duty but said he was a friend to meI considered it nothing more nor less than absolute and wilful dissension and an attact on the discharge of my duty.There was much said by different ones but none came out against me but some were somewhat disaffected at first others were decidedly
against him and sustained me in the course I had taken.The more which was said about it I saw that the police thought the less of what he said.However after a long time I spoke on the subject of their disaffection and told them the fatal consequences thereof and warned them to ceace their bickerings murmering backbiting evit speakings about one another or they would be torn asunder and scattered to the four winds (as police) and fall away from the faith.All but Langley were melted into tears amost and some asked my pardon for what they had saidLangley remained inveterate as everthere was other things which he had done as he said there which proved that he had been my secret enemy for a long time.After the matter had been thus discussed I proposed for all those who felt perfectly satisfied with me as matters now stood and would sustain me even unto death to give their names to the clerk which they all did & Langley among among the rest.But he immediately went to doing all that he
could against me by Sowering the mind of Genl C. Rich about some things which had called forth his name in our talkI went home and took dinner and met the guard at three as usual and addressed them at some length on the things which were coming to pass and the responsibility of the guard and also warned them to beware of evil Spirits and men among them who would lead their minds away from their duty &c.The spirit of God rested down upon us and the whole house was melted into tearsafter I was done Speaking we joined in prayer by Br A. Paten.I then detailed the guard and went home before dark and had a difficulty settled at home as before refered to after which I felt at restMy mind had been so burthened & my Spirits depressed at what had taken place in the police At the unfaithfulness of Langley whom I had taken so much pains to learn to govern and be a man of influence and befriended so long and now was so ungrateful as to leave me in trouble that I was almost down sick.
I went to bed and rested well all night

Mormon History, Saturday Jan. 24th 1846
[Brigham Young Journal] at 1/2 to 12- I attended a general meeting of the official members of the church held in the 2nd story of the Temple which I had ordered for the purose of arrainging the affairs of the church prior to our exit from this place-- The meeting having been organized- previous to my coming by A. W. Babbit & C.C. Rich whom I sent for that purpose O. Pratt was nominated to take the chair & D. Candland Clerk carried by unamious consent of the assembly & the object of the meeting had also been stated but in order that entire satisfaction should be produced-- I arose & said I wish the Brethren to understand correctly the designs of appointing those Trustees- we do not instead dropping the present Trustees but we appoint 5 more to act in concert with Bishop Whitney & Miller & take charge of the church as well as individual property & this we do for the accommodation & convenance of those that are obliged to leave - for safety- also- to have them ( the P. Trustees) take the place of Bishop Whitney & Miller in their absence that the work of the Lord may continue here- that is the finishing of the Temple & Nauvoo House & the disposing of Property & fitting of the Saints & sending them out after us - but to return as regard the old Trustees (Whitney & Miller) I will never give them a quit claim- or Suffer them to resign their commission by my consent-Where ever we go we want them with us -& they shall be the Trustees wherever we go- but it is wisdom to take the course that we are proposing to you- the old Bishops will leave soon in all probbity & it is advisable to appoint & leave some good substantial efficient men to act for & in behalf of the church & people - I want Br. Whitney & Miller here & while we are I will Speak designs relative to our journey West- we intend to start a company of young men & some few Families- perhaps within a few weeks this company will go until we can find a good location beyond the borders of the united states & there stop & put in a summer crop-- that we me may have something to subsist upon= & there remain until we shall-- can make further discoveries -- We have been forced to take this step-& that too by Men that holds the Keys of Power I find no fault with the Law or constitution under which we live it is good enough- but I despise the abuse of those Laws - God ! & Men & Angels abhor it. I hop to find a place, where no self righteous Neighbors can say that we are obnoxious to them-- I exhort you not to be self important- we have covenants to remove the Poor that are worthy this we will do God - & being our helper- walk Humbly before the Lord be upright & sustain yourselves & learn that you are engaged in an important move- If any should want to stay Let them do it Pause- & should any want to go with us-- that are not members let them have the privilege & bid them welcome-for I consider every man that is a true republican- as Bone of my Bone of my Bone & flesh of my flesh & if any one wishes to follow Sidney Wm Smith J. J. Strang I say go away & will all cut them off from the church & let them take their course for salvation- I know where the Power of the Priesthood lies- But now I will drop the subject of the out laws - & refer to the enemy of all righetousness who- seek our downfall= he has sent bogus Factory & lying eire in abtescne medium- through the- country by wholesale - that we making Spurious Coin- & exchanging it by waggon loads- as Land office money & a thousand other lies all of which I pronounce to be a base fabricated lie - Nevertheless we may have to suffer repeiate wrones in consiquence of those falsehoods that are & will be circulated about us - but my Faith is that God ! Rule the elements - & the Prince & Power of the air- will be Stayed while the Lord will fight our battles- as in the days of Moses=We will see deliberance brought to pass- although there may be blood shed frequently still this must needs be that the scriptures might be fulfild- it is but a small mater for a saint to lay his life down if he is only prepared to receive his change- when he takes his exit from this world he goes into the Society of disembodied Spirits - & there become one of those that wait the rescuction of the body- if Humility and Faithfulness has characterized your live- you will find your state much better than the present- I say the time will come & many of you shall see it when the purposes the Lord will be carried out upon the Heads of those who has committed ungodly- deeds upon his Saints They so will not be permitted to run at large as they now do - neither will you be permitted to use the Name of the Deity in vain as you have in times done the more knowledge that you will have the less inclination you will have to diveation from the law of God- This Nation is fearful that we will turn the world upside down & accomplish wonderful things in the Land - & in fact they have reason to fear for their Kings & Nobleman & the wise among them have been confounded by them in our Ministerial Body-though confounded it is hard to convince them of the Truth-when we leave here fear & Terror seezis them least when we leave them that we will convert the savages of the Forest & say that we shall not teach them the principles of civilization & domestical usages -or not I say we will & further we would yet bring salvation to this Nation if they would cease their hostitilites & repent- The Lord has said, that he would fight our Battles & if this Nation shall still continue to be actuated towards with a persecuting spirit- vengeance shall come from the Lord & not from me- upon this Nation until they shal be uterly wasted- but I intend to Preach & do all the good that I can- I was informed this morning that some persons were advocating the - folly & nonsense of J. J. Strang- Now if they wish to follow him let them go, they are at liberty to as they please= I want no person to follow us contrary to their wishes - thierfore let no one go off & say that they are in danger of their lives- amongst us because- that we differ in opinion this is not so- Mr. J. Strang represent Jos Smith as the Stone & Shepherd of Israel of & that he Strang is his Successor in office-this is certainly an obserd idea- & comes in contrast with Joseph views relative to the matter (He Jos) Says in the Book of Doctrine & covenants & so does the scriptures- that christ is the shepherd & stone of Israel - & not Jos nor Strang & however I will not comsumre time no talking such nonsense it is not worth the Short Jorney of a mans Horse yet there are those that tire on the way & wish to rest to rest - they think that they have gone far Enough but those that endure to the End I think will get the crown When the time comes our Pioneers to start then there will be no cesation of gathering for we must gather up the House of Israel- & every man will have his Penny for his services let there be no feelings- about this matter should you not be first- we are laying a Foundation for you all that will bring you all up in rememberence before the Lord- in his own due time & none of you will be neglected-- I have one request to make of all the Saints that expect to emigrate with us & that is - that they do just as they are asked by their leaders with thire property & means - they are apointed to arrange that matter & if you will do this thing I tell you now-- there shall never be a lack in this church we want the captains of 100's to borrow or raise out of their $1.000- out of their companies remember that from the head go are nourished-- if any man can say that he has been wronged out of his money by the bishop let him speak & it shall be restored to him again but I know that is not so - Keep your money in circulation - & you will do good & will be blest in so doeing retain it when the poor are crying for bread & it will prove a curse to you- be honorable in all your dealings promp & punctual to pay all your debts & restore confidence & let promptiness & Punctuality be the standard with you- & the very God of Peace will pour out blessings upon that cannot have room enough to receive- The chairman then arose & proceeded to the nominations of the Trustee at t
his junction A. W. Babbitt- proseed to me that we drop J. B. Backenstos one of the proposed committee & take an other (not by-- objection however) & let a part of the committee act as Trustees for the Nauvoo House upon which I spoke a few words more we intind to finish the Temple & the Nauvoo House as far as putting on the Roof & putting in the windows & we shall drop all Political opperattions & church government= after (we the 12 leaves here) by so doing we can preserve our public buildings from the torch- I propose that all the saints will lay down their property & for the building the Temple and the Nauvoo House & help the Poor away such as must go in the first company -- (Temple Trustees & Nauvoo House)
I then nominated Almon W. Babbitt & Joseph L. Heaywood & John S. Fulmer be the Trustees for the Temple & Henry M. Miller & John M. Bernhisel be the-- Trustees & committe for the Nauvoo House- carried without a desenting vote- on motion the meeting adjourned at 2 P. M. after which I assended the stairs which led up into the celestial departments caled at the Dining room & took some refreshments- then repaired to room No. 1. where I continued at the Alter till near midnight.

[Hosea Stout Diary] Saturday Jan 24th 1846. Arose about sun up quite sickMet the guard as usual in the cellar & spoke at length to them on the necessity of keeping ourselves humble and prayerful before the Lord & also to keep ourselves in order when we meet together to attend to the business of our calling which was unanimously recieved by the company whereupon it was also then agreed to hence forth open our meetings by prayer and supplication to the Lord to protect us and the things which we are intrusted with and deliver us from our enemies

[William Clayton Journal] ...At 1 went to a council in the Temple with the Twelve, Bishops &c...Evening with [Newel] Whitney dividing goods purchased by [Erastus] Snow. [Bishop] R[euben] Miller reports that [J. J.] Strang is making heavy breaches in the church, and drawing many after him. In one place 30 families have left the church and gone with him. It is also rumored that many of the saints here are full of Strangism and talking [hard] in his favor. Among the rest are John Gaylord and Wm. A. Sangor who are openly advocating his rights to the presidency. I read a copy of a letter purporting to be wrote by President Joseph Smith on the 18th June 1844 in which he appoints Strang as his successor. The letter is a base forgery and is well calculated to deceive the simple minded and unfaithful.
It is also rumored that many are dissatisfied because the Twelve and some others are going West without taking the whole Church. This is a matter of impossibility and the saints have no cause for complaint. Amongst the rest are many of the Temple hands who are complaining much. The arrangements are made by which the whole church can go comfortably, but it is necessary that some men should go beforehand to prepare a place for the rest and the Twelve and some others have to go to save their lives, for there are plans laid for their destruction. My sister in law Lydia is in the way of apostacy. She went to Burlington last year but previous to her going she agreed to be sealed to me for time and eternity. She refused to be sealed to Joseph. While at Burlington she wrote pledging herself to her contract. When she came home she went out to fathers where she got entangled with my brother James and has resolved to marry him. She has lost her faith in the Church and is on the road to ruin, but so determined that no argument is of any use. The family feels sorry but cannot change her feelings. Her mother frets much about it.
