421–559. A number of updates and changes have been made to the reference
material. The updates correct factual errors, add additional
information, and remove biographical information that, while possibly
accurate, could not be documented in primary sources or the most
reliable secondary sources. Because the reference material supports all
published volumes and all documents published on the website, the Smith
Papers staff will not keep a record of the specific changes made to each
entry published in Documents, Volume 9. Readers should
refer to the Reference section of the Joseph Smith Papers website to
find the corrected and updated information.
