Frederick G. Williams 30 Degrees South Latitude

 


Frederick G. Williams was a significant figure in the early history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Serving as both the personal scribe to Joseph Smith and as the Second Counselor in the First Presidency, Williams played a crucial role in the church's development. Born in 1787, he had a background as a ship's pilot on the Great Lakes during the War of 1812, which endowed him with substantial knowledge of navigation and geography. He was instrumental in the construction of the Kirtland Temple and was known for his dedication and service. Williams also claimed to have received a revelation from an angel stating that Lehi's family, from the Book of Mormon, landed in Chile at 30º South Latitude. Despite controversies surrounding this revelation, it remains a notable part of LDS history.
