On 11 March 1843, Shadrach Roundy presented a certificate to the council certifying that he, Henry G. Sherwood, and Alexander Mills had worked 8 nights as city watch and requested payment of twelve dollars each. This claim was ordered to “stand over” until the mayor was present. At the 1 June 1843 council meeting, when JS was present, Roundy, Sherwood, and Mills were each allowed twelve dollars. A notation in the minutes indicates that separate orders were issued that day. $3.25 was deducted for Roundy and Sherwood, leaving a sum of $8.75. The transaction was recorded in the Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger on 26 December 1843. (Claims from Shadrach Roundy and Others, 23 Feb. 1843; Nauvoo City Council Rough Minute Book, Nov. 1842–Jan. 1844, 12, 17; Nauvoo City Treasury Ledger, 70; see also Pay Order to Nauvoo City Treasurer for Shadrach Roundy, 1 Jun. 1843.)
