Joseph Smith Biography Timeline Prophecies ... Home Joseph Smith Born on December 23, 1805, in Sharon, Vermont, to Joseph and Lucy Mack Smith, Joseph Smith Jr. grew up on a series of tenant farms in Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York. Though in his youth Joseph was largely deprived of a formal education, he was "instructed in reading, writing, and the ground rules of arithmetic." Joseph's mother said that he was often "given to meditation and deep study." Affected by the great religious excitement taking place around his home in Manchester, New York, in 1820, fourteen-year-old Joseph was determined to know which of the many religions he should join. He encountered a passage in the Bible instructing any who lacked wisdom to "ask of God" (James 1:5). Early one morning in the spring of 1820, Joseph went to a secluded woods to ask God which church he should join. According to his account, while praying Joseph was visited by two "personages" who identified themselves as God the Father and Jesus Christ. He was told not to join any of the churches. In 1823, Joseph Smith said he was visited by an angel named Moroni, who told him of an ancient record containing God's dealings with the former inhabitants of the American continent. In 1827, Joseph retrieved this record, inscribed on thin golden plates, and shortly afterward began translating its words by the "gift of God."

PEOPLE A-C D-H I-R ... Young, Brigham Joseph Smith As founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, popularly known as the Mormons, Joseph Smith stands as one of the most charismatic and influential religious figures in American history. Smith was born in 1805 in Sharon, Vermont, into a hard-pressed farm family that eventually included ten children. The Smiths moved ten times in nineteen years, but almost all of Joseph's later childhood was spent near Palmyra, New York, in the heart of what was called the "burned-over district" for its frequent and fervent Protestant revivals. By his own description, Smith's first direct divine revelation came at age fourteen, on the Smith family farm. In a series of encounters, God revealed to him that all religions since the death of Christ's disciples had strayed from the true Church of Christ, which Smith was charged with restoring. Later visions instructed Smith to translate a history of ancient inhabitants of North America written on tablets of gold stored in a nearby hillside. The translations were published in 1830 as the Book of Mormon, which together with the Old and New Testaments and some of Smith's later revelations became the sacred scripture of Mormonism. Theologically, Smith's new religion drew upon, yet transcended, important elements of 19th century American Protestantism and religious practices. God and Jesus Christ were hardly remote figures to Smith and his followers; they were material beings with the bodies of men who actively and directly intervened in human affairs. Human beings are themselves filled with the essence of divinity, and through proper conduct can literally become God-like. The Mormon Church, under the leadership of a divinely ordained Prophet, provides the structure by which humans progress toward this God-like status.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History SMITH, JOSEPH , founding prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). This charismatic and controversial religious leader was born in Sharon, Vermont, fourth in a family of nine children. His parents worked on rented farms before moving to Palmyra in western New York State in 1816, when Joseph was ten. The Smith family was religious; young Joseph read the Bible, attended religious revivals, and pondered which church to join. In the spring of 1820, when he was fourteen, he went to a clearing in the nearby woods to pray and had a vision of God in which, he reported to his parents, he was forgiven his sins and instructed to keep a pure heart. Three years later, he informed his family that during a nighttime prayer, he was visited by an angel named Moroni who told him about a sacred history engraved on gold plates, which gave an account of the religious and other experiences of former inhabitants of the Western Hemisphere who had migrated from the Near East. Young Joseph, however, was not permitted to take the plates until September 1827, after he had married and established a home on a farm in Manchester, New York. Over the next two years, in between farming and other enterprises, Smith dictated to his wife and other scribes the contents of the book, and it was published as the Book of Mormon in the spring of 1830. The six-hundred-page work was equivalent to a Bible for the Chosen People of ancient America.

Joseph SMITH Smith, Joseph (1805-1844) , American religious leader, who was the founding prophet of Mormonism. Smith was born of poor parents in Sharon, Vermont, on December 23, 1805. The family moved near the town of Palmyra, in upstate New York, where between the ages of 14 and 25 Smith experienced visions calling him to restore the true Christian religion. According to his account, an angel guided him to a set of golden plates buried in a hill near the Smith farm; these contained a narrative written in a hieroglyphic script, which he translated, "by the gift and power of God." The result was published in 1830 as the Book of Mormon, which he believed to be a religious record of the ancient inhabitants of North America. The church Smith founded on April 6, 1830, soon known officially as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, quickly attracted followers, many of whom served as lay missionaries. It also aroused opposition, with Smith as its focus. He suffered a violent tarring and feathering in Ohio and a jail term of several months in Missouri. After establishing a new headquarters at Commerce (which they renamed Nauvoo), Illinois, in 1839, Smith continued to provide charismatic leadership. Soon, however, rumors, later confirmed, that the Mormons had begun to practice polygamy provoked a schism in the Mormon community and intensified the opposition outside the church. Smith himself is believed to have had more than 27 wives, although he publicly acknowledged only one.

JOSEPH SMITH Founder of the church commonly called Mormons, born in Sharon , Vermont. He received his first "call' as a prophet at Manchester, New York, in 1820. Smith said he was told of a sacred religious record on golden plates, with two stones which would help to translate it, and in 1827 this was delivered into his hands. The Book of Mormon (1830) is said to contain a history of the 5th century of the Christian era, written by a prophet named Mormon, during which Jesus Christ appeared and established his Church in the New World. Smith claimed to have received authority from John the Baptist and the apostles to be the instrument of the Church's re-establishment. Despite ridicule and hostility, the new "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" rapidly gained converts. He founded Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1840, becoming mayor. Violence followed his announcement as a candidate for the US presidency. He was imprisoned for conspiracy and killed by a mob which broke into the jail in Carthage, Illinois, where he and his brother Hyram were awaiting trial.
