"This article will, first, review certain key historical events that brought about the eventual state of Missouri. Second, the article will examine the public domain land policies of the United States as they applied to individual pioneers or “squatters” and the creation of the Missouri Territory and the subsequent state of Missouri. This discussion will include an explanation of the designation “seminary land” (often confused with “school land”) and how that designation impacted Missouri and, in particular, Jackson County. Third, the creation of Jackson County and the founding of the village of Independence will be considered. Fourth, I will argue why I believe an arranged meeting between Joseph Smith and Edward Partridge and local Independence tradesman Jones H. Flournoy occurred prior to the dedication of the temple site. Fifth, I will discuss the several structures built by church members on the Temple Lot property (1832-33) and other uses of the acquired acreage and the virtually unknown fact that a two-story brick building was already in existence (ca. 1826) on the property purchased by Partridge in December 1831 and, therefore, became the first utilized building or real estate asset of the early church."
