Florida Jacksonville Mission

  • United States information: Florida

    William Brown and Daniel Cathcart were called by Joseph Smith to serve a mission to Pensacola in April 1843, but no record exists of them fulfilling the calling. Between April and June 1854, Phineas Young visited the Indian chiefs in Florida and distributed copies of the Book of Mormon. John Morgan, Southern States Mission president, visited Florida in 1885 but long-term missionary work did not begin until the state became part of the mission on 1 March 1894.
