Fakamatalaʻi ange ne haʻu ha fefine ko hono hingoá ko Mīsisi Hapolo ʻi Fēpueli 1831, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e Kāingalotu ʻi Ketilani, ʻOhaioó.

Ne fakakaukau ʻa e palōfitá ke fehuʻi ki he ʻEikí ʻo kau ki he meʻa ʻoku totonu ke faí, pea naʻá ne maʻu ha fakahā. Naʻe tohi ʻe Sione Uitemā, ʻa ia ne toki tūʻuta ʻi Ketilani, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe ʻomi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e Fakahā [ko ʻení] ke ʻoua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻa e Kāingalotú” (Documents, Volume 1: July 1828–June 1831, vol. 1 of the Document series of The Joseph Smith Papers [2013], 257).
