Affidavit of Adam Black- August 28, 1838
===By 1836, the Governor of Missouri was Liliburn Boggs. Governor Boggs received petitions from both sides of the conflict- demanding a resolution of wrongs done to them. In 1838 Boggs received this sworn affidavit from Adam Black. ===

====//"there came an armed force of men, said to be 154, to the best of any information, and surrounded his house and family & threatened him with instant death if he did not sign a certain instrument of writing, binding himself, as a justice of the peace for said county of Daviess, not to molest the people called mormons . . ."// ====

Undoubtedly, such communication made an impact on the Governor as he sought to find a permanent solution to the problem.
