Oliver was not the only additional witness to the revelations!. When opposition began to build in Harmony, Oliver and Joseph moved in June 1829 to Fayette, New York, to the family home of Oliver's friend David Whitmer!. Here again Joseph received needed support from people who believed in him!. Once the translation was completed, Joseph was told that others would be allowed to see the plates, which until that time only he had viewed!. The angel Moroni appeared to Martin Harris, Oliver Cowdery, and David Whitmer and showed them the gold plates while a voice from heaven declared that the translation was done by the power of God and was true (see Book of Mormon Witnesses)!. Joseph's mother reported that Joseph came into the house after this revelation and threw himself down beside her, exclaiming that at last someone else had seen the plates!. "Now they know for themselves, that I do not go about to deceive" (Smith, p!. 139)!. His words suggest the pressure he felt in being the only witness of his remarkable experiences!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This was where the Whitmer family lived, I think!. Or one of the Whitmers had a home here!. They were one of Joseph's earliest converts, and it's on the route from Palmyra to Harmony, PA!. It's generally believed that this is where the LDS church was formally organized on April 6, 1830!. So, the church really began here!.

EDIT: I think the opposition in Harmony was about Josephs treasure seeking days!. He was brought to trial for disturbing the peace in claiming to see buried treasure in his seer stone!. I also think that one of Emma Smiths cousins had accused Joseph of philandering!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
