Excellent project, excellent and useful information for me to begin a restoration project on Zelphs Mound also known as Naples/Russel Mound 8 located in Pike county, Illinois. I will invite the Curlee family and others from Nauvoo to the cleansing ceremony once a date has been set. I'm working with Joseph "Standing Bear" Shranz of the SOARRING foundation.

Could this area be the Mound Branch of the LDS people Presided over by my 3rd gr. grandfather Thomas Clark and included several families including John Marriott amd Christopher Layton. It was2-5 miles NE of Nauvoo?
