New York Statements of Individuals on Joseph Smith, Jr.
Residents of Manchester, New York General Statement
Residents of Palmyra, New York General Statement
Note: None of the many dozens of people who provided Hurlbut with information about the Smiths in New York ever came forward to repudiate their testimony or to complain that they had been misrepresented or falsely quoted. Nor did any of those individuals' circle of family, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances ever go on record to allege that so-and-so who made such-and-such statement was lying or had made it up.
