So, it seems like Joseph Smith's initial intention in publishing Book of Mormon was to profit off book sales. Willard Chase talks about Joseph Smith offering him a "share" in the book in exchange for a chest.
Do we have of list of people who DID have a contractual share in the book?

I'm a Christian, and do not accept Mormon doctrine nor Mormon text --- except those portions where the Bible was plagiarized.

The link talks about the failed sale of the Canadian copyright, which supposedly belonged just to Smith; but it doesn't address who DID have a share in the book. Presumably Martin Harris had a share, and Chase claims he was offered a share. Anyone else?
