John Whitmer served second, from October until December 1830, recording the translation of KJV Genesis 4:19to approximately Genesis 5:20. Sidney Rigdon was next, becoming the main scribe from early December 1830 until the translation was finished on July 2, 1833.

Jesse Gause, who served as a counselor in the First Presidency with Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon, served also as scribe off and on in March 1832. Fredrick G.

Brother Frederick is employed to be a scribe for me of the Lord. We have finished the translation of the New Testament. Great and glorious things are revealed [in it.] We are making rapid strides in the old book and in the strength of God we can do all things according to his will.
