1842…

“He called me by name, and said…that his name was Nephi.”

Joseph Smith, Jr., Times and Seasons – Volume 3 (Nauvoo, IL: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 15 April 1842), No. 12, 753. Note: Joseph Smith was the Times and Seasons editor at the time and lived another two years – but never retracted it. “Nephi” was repeated in the Millennial Star a few months later, in August 1842 (No. 4, Vol III, page 53).

1902 and current...

“He called me by name, and said…that his name was Moroni.”

Joseph Smith, Jr., History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – Volume 1 (Salt Lake City, UT: Deseret News, 1902), 12. Note: Changed from Nephi to Moroni by Albert Carrington, about 2 March 1871 – more than 50 years AFTER the event was said to have taken place.
