Establishment of the Fayette Branch

When: circa April 11, 1830
Where: Fayette branch meeting site
Part of: Church of Christ organized at Fayette

Historian Marquardt argues that the Fayette branch of the Church of Christ was founded five days after the formal organization, on April 11, 1830.

Marquardt argues that the event described by Whitmer in 1887 bears more resemblance to Fayette meetings such as the founding of the church's Fayette branch five days later, on April 11, 1830. This interpretation places the branch founding shortly after the initial organizational meeting in the same locality.
