From The Nauvoo Journal 11 June 1998. In regard to your inquiry of 9 May 1998, I don't have any reference in any
of the magazines to James Frodsham, but am enclosing list of past issues and contents for you anyway.
From my records here at the office and in the LDS Historical Department, I found a few things for you, which you may
already have.
James FRODSHAM is listed in some little-known Nauvoo records. One is a daily log of persons entering the city as
recorded by Willard Richards, beginning July 31st 1843 and ending January 22, 1846. The other record is the names of
persons who moved into Nauvoo and handed the clerk, Willard Richards, a certificate from their previous branch. The
certificate from James shows him coming from St. Louis and was signed 11 AUG 1845.
The LDS Historical Dept. Archives MS2981 fd 1, has a photocopy and micro film of the certificate of citizenship issued
to James FRODSHAM 11 Jan 1868, Utah Territory District Court, 2nd Judicial District.
James was the captain of the 4th 10 of the 12th company (Harmon Cutler) in 1852 to cross the plains to Salt Lake.
There are no names shown with this company, but it included:
50 persons/15 wagons/3 horses/61 oxen/34 cows/0 sheep/34 1/2 pounds p9wder/17 poounds lead/11 guns/6 pistols/5 spades/5
shovels/4 dogs. This is found in the "Journal History of the Church."
