"In late May 1829, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery endured threats from mobs while completing the translation of the Book of Mormon. David Whitmer helped them move from Harmony, Pennsylvania, to the Whitmer home in Fayette, New York, so they could escape persecution and so they could teach the restored gospel to the Whitmers and their neighbors. The Whitmer family took great interest in the unfolding events of the Restoration. Joseph Smith described David Whitmer, John Whitmer, and Peter Whitmer Jr. as “zealous friends and assistants in the work; and … anxious to know their respective duties” (History of the Church, 1:48–49). The Prophet prayed and received revelations for David Whitmer and his brothers John and Peter. These brothers learned about their roles in bringing forth the Lord’s work."
