Pergunta: O que David Stafford reclamar sobre Joseph Smith nos depoimentos Hurlbut?

David Stafford claimed that Oliver Cowdery was a "worthless person" who was "not to be trusted"

  • That Joseph Smith, Sr. was a "drunkard," a "liar," and a "gambler."
  • That the "general employment" of the Smith family was "money digging" and "fortune telling."
  • That Oliver Cowdery was a "worthless person" who was "not to be trusted."

John Stafford, on the other hand, stated that Oliver Cowdery was a man of good character

John Stafford, William Stafford's eldest son, would later say that Oliver Cowdery "taught school on the Canandaigua road, where the stone school-house now stands...Cowdery was a man of good character." [1]
