According to another account, and perhaps the more accurate one, Rigdon joined the Baptist Church May 31, 1817, [50] a Welsh clergyman, Rev. David Phillips, being his pastor. [51]. This church was located near where the neighboring hamlet of Library is now situated. Rigdon "began to talk in public on religion soon after his admission to the church, probably at his own instance, as there is no record of his license." [52] [Footnote 50: "Who Wrote the Book of Mormon?" 8. "Myth of the Manuscript Found," 24.] [Footnote 51: Supplement 14, _Millennial Star,_ 42 and 43.] [Footnote 52: "Who Wrote the Book of Mormon?" 9.] The following year (1818) Rigdon left the farm and took up his residence and the study of divinity with the Rev. Andrew Clark at Sharon, Beaver County, Pa., [53] where, in March, 1819, he was licensed as a Baptist. [54] I am informed by Sidney Rigdon's son that in 1818 his father made a lengthy visit to Pittsburg. In May, 1819, Rigdon moved to Warren, Trumbull County, O., where, in July, he took up his residence with the Rev. Adamson Bentley, later of "Disciple" fame, [55] and was here ordained a regular Baptist preacher. [56] While thus situated Rigdon met, and on June 12, 1820, married Phoebe Brooks, [57] who was a sister to Mrs. Bently. [58] Rigdon continued his preaching hereabouts, not appearing to have any regular charge until February, 1822. In November, 1821, he received a call from the First Baptist Church of Pittsburg, which was accepted, active duties commencing February, 1822, [59] and according to Joseph Smith ended August, 1824, at which time Rigdon was expelled for doctrinal error. [60] Another account fixes the date of his being deposed as October 11, 1823. [61] Thereupon Rigdon, Alexander Campbell, and Walter Scott organized the "Christian Church," otherwise known as "Disciples"--and, with his following, Rigdon secured the courthouse in Pittsburg in which to do his preaching, at the same time working as a journeyman tanner [62] with his brother-in-law, Mr. Brooks. [63] Mr. Lambdin, through whom Rigdon is supposed to have secured access to the Spaulding manuscript, and of whom more shall be written later on, died August 1, 1825, [64] and in 1826 Rigdon returned to Bainbridge, Geauga County, O. [65] Here he soon met Orson Hyde, who became a student of divinity at Mr. Rigdon's, with a view, as Hyde says, of entering the ministry. Except for a little "Campbellite" preaching which he did under Rigdon's guidance, Hyde never appears to have entered any ministry except the Mormon. In 1829 Hyde became a boarder of Rigdon's family, and in 1830 [66] he was almost miraculously converted to Mormonism, and still later became one of the first "Quorum" of apostles in the Mormon Church. Rigdon died July 14, 1876. [67] [Footnote 53: "Who Wrote the Book of Mormon?" 8, 9.] [Footnote 54: Supplement 14, _Millenial Star_, 42 and 53.] [Footnote 55: Supplement 14, _Millenial Star_, 43.]
