Some claim that there is no evidence that Joseph or his family were persecuted because of the First Vision. They argue that this means that Joseph invented the story later.

There is evidence both from Joseph's family, contemporary history, and later Smith family memories that support Joseph's account of being persecuted.

Thomas H. Taylor, was asked, ""What did the Smiths do that the people abused them so?" He replied:
 
 
 
:They did not do anything. Why! these rascals at one time took Joseph Smith and ducked him in the pond that you see over there, just because he preached what he believed and for nothing else. And if Jesus Christ had been there, they would have done the same to him. Now I don't believe like he did; but every man has a right to his religious opinions, and to advocate his views, too; if people don't like it, let them come out and meet him on the stand, and shew his error. Smith was always ready to exchange views with the best men they had. [Why didn't they like Smith?, asked the interviewer.]
 
 
 
:To tell the truth, there was something about him they could not understand; someway he knew more than they did, and it made them mad.{{ref|kelley.1}}
 
 
 
The raw notes for the Taylor interview likewise mention Joseph Smith being "ducked in the creek in Manchester" despite the fact that the Smiths "did nothing" and "nothing has been sustained [a]gainst [Joseph] Smith".{{ref|kelley.notes}}
