description: The original Chicago Branch appears to have divided at a Branch Conference in December 1846, with President Peltiah Barter leading a faction loyal to the Twelve, and Daniel Fox Botsford leading a faction loyal to Strang. It is unclear whether it continued as a single branch or as separate organizations. Barter eventually proclaimed his allegiance to Strang in 1848, claiming that "Strangism is gaining, whilst the Twelveites (Brighamites) are dwindling away."   (started: 1846, source: zions revelee II #3)
