The regulations for recording priesthood licenses established on 3 March 1836 required the signatures of an appointed chairman and clerk. As chairman, JS apparently signed a number of blank licenses that were later individually signed and recorded by the clerk and recording clerk on the date listed on each license and in Kirtland Elders’ Certificates, CHL.
