185 years ago today - Circa mid-March 1829

Lucy Harris brings suit against Joseph Jr. at Lyons (NY), during which Martin Harris and others testify. Case dismissed . Martin Harris said that the trial was held in "March [1829]" prior to his trip to Harmony with a Mr. Rogers later the same month. Lucy Smith misdates this event to about August 1829 but clearly places it in a setting prior to Joseph's move to Fayette about the end of May 1829.
