After digging a well on Lyman Wight's property in Daviess county, Missouri, with Joseph and Martin Harris, William Swartzell suggests Joseph name the place. He calls it Adam-ondi-Ahman because, "there was no place by that name under heaven."

His correct last name is KENNEY (Scott G.)
ReplyDeleteAlso note this:
ADAM - ONIDAH - MAN.
ONIDAH = ONDI-AH with the I and D transposed.
ONIDAH = hill where Alma preached (Alma 32:4; 47:5).
