Joseph Smith helped the Mormons by creating them!

According to Christian belief, God was the father of Jesus. That is why Jesus is referred to as the "Son of God." Thus, he is not the son of St. Joseph, who kindly accepted God's plan and understood that his wife Mary would become pregnant miraculously. While they did not have adoption back then, St. Joseph was very much like an adoptive father to the infant Jesus.
Well, the Bible doesn't talk much about Joseph and Jesus' relationship. But the Bible does say Jesus was a joy to his parents because, of course, he never sinned.
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.
