King Limhi the son of wicked Noah in about 130 BC sent 43 men from Tennessee to find Zarahemla. Eventually Alma the older and his people escaped to Helam and Amulon (near the Pinson Mounds) in Eastern Tennessee and then later joined the Nephites in Zarahemla using the Mississippi River north. ( We like Catoosa Springs, GA and Crawfish Springs, GA as possibilities 12-18 miles south of Chattanooga). Alma and his followers visited the Waters of Mormon which was probably in northern Georgia close to Chattanooga. When the wicked priests of Noah found out about Alma they attempted to kill him. Alma the older was one priest in Noah’s court who heard and believed the words of Abinadi. (Mosiah 9-22).Ībinadi taught the 10 Commandments and Isaiah to Noah (Zeniff’s son) and his court and was then killed. Zeniff’s son, King Noah reigned in wickedness about 160 BC in Tennessee or the Land Lehi-Nephi. Zeniff left Zarahemla (Montrose, Iowa) about 200-187 BC to possess the land of first inheritance near Chattanooga Tennessee. Mosiah meets the people of Zarahemla and translated Coriantumr’s stone. They lived along the Mississippi river (the land of Zarahemla) until Mosiah arrived from the land of Nephi. Shortly after Lehi left Jerusalem for the new World, in about 586 BC the Mulekites (Descendants of King Zedekiah) came from Jerusalem by way of the Atlantic Ocean and ascended the lower and upper Mississippi Rivers until they stopped at the Des Moines river rapids near Nauvoo. Eventually Mosiah made his way to the city of Zarahemla at Montrose Iowa (D&C 125:3), where the Mulekites already lived.
Mosiah was told by the Lord to leave Tennessee (about 323 BC) and he traveled the Tennessee River west then north to the Ohio River then traveling north on the Mississippi River, to the land of Zarahemla (modern Illinois, Iowa, Missouri). Later, after Lehi dies, Nephi escaped north possibly using the Chattahoochee River to Unicoi Gap, GA, and then traveling on the Hiawasee River which connects to the Tennessee River then, settling near Chattanooga, Tennessee which area became the land of Nephi and also called the Land Lehi-Nephi. We believe Lehi landed in Florida near Tallahassee about 589 BC.
