Ironically, there is no record of Brigham Young ever claiming to be a prophet. However, he was considered a leader by many, and was the President of the Quorum of Twelve at the time that Joseph and Hyrum were murdered. Most Mormons followed him west after the martyrdom, and he was officially made President of the Church in December of 1847 (6 months after their arrival in Utah and 3 1/2 years after Joseph was killed).
