Joseph Smith, Jr. (1805-1844) was born in Sharon, Windsor County, Vermont. In 1820 he received a heavenly visitation of God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. In 1830, with the authority of God, Joseph restored the Church of Jesus Christ. After being driven from three different states and suffering much persecution, Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum Smith (1800-1844), were murdered by a heinous mob in Carthage, Illinois on June 27, 1844.
