That's impossible to answer but i know that Joseph smith is probaly one of the most common names
Yes, there are many pictures of Joseph Smith, but there are no photographs as photography was still a new invention at the time of his death.
There were about 40,000 members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when Joseph Smith was martyred.
Joseph Smith did not find Missouri. It was already a well known and established place with many cities and towns before he arrived.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that Joseph Smith's successor was Brigham Young. However, many offshoot groups claim other successors, such as Joseph Smith's son, Joseph Smith III.
None. Sadly, I find this offensive.
While there have been many people named Joseph Smith, the most well known from the time period Joseph Smith, the founding Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). Joseph Smith never travelled farther west than Missouri, so he could not have discovered the California Trail.
Joseph Smith's murder or martyr took place on June 27, 1844 when a mob of about 100 to 200 men with faces painted black stormed Carthage Jail. The religious intent of Joseph Smith's murder was suppose to bring an end to the LDS/Mormon faith. After Joseph Smith's death many men stepped forward and claimed that they were Joseph Smith's successor. Some believed that Joseph Smith the III, Joseph's son should take the place as leader of the church, essentially this was the start of the RLDS church. Sidney Rigdon, also claimed leadership of the church as he had been in the leadership of the church with Joseph Smith in the early beginnings of the church. However, Sidney Rigdon's association with the church had been marred and at one time he had been almost excommunicated from the church. Rigdon believed that with Joseph Smith's death that no one could take Joseph's place and that there could only be a caretaker of the church. He pronounced that he should be that caretaker. The only other person who stood against this statement was Brigham Young, president of the twelve apostles, who claimed that Rigdon had not been there in many teaching and learning opportunities with the Prophet Joseph Smith. Priot to his death, Joseph Smith spent time teaching and giving instruction to the Twelve Apostles. Brigham Young claimed essentially that this was why Sidney Rigdon's position was faulty. In addition, many of the saints in Nauvoo believed they saw and heard the "mantle" of Joseph Smith fall upon Brigham Young. This was to confirm to many of the LDS Saints that Brigham Young was indeed the next prophet to lead the faith. Other Mormon sects as well sprung up from Joseph Smith's death such as: RLDS, Rigdonites, Strangites, etc.
i have not been to japan or anything but there are many temples LOL
Brigham Young colonized many cities as did Joseph Smith.
The lawn sprinkler is a common sight in many communities during the warm summer months. It was invented by Joseph H. Smith who was born on December 23, 1805.
Joseph Smith preached pretty much wherever he went. He went to many places in New England, the northeastern United States, and the Midwest. He was most often in New York, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois.
