Brigham Young, second prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("Mormons") was born in 1801. Since the Colonial period ended with the Declaration of Independence, the Revolutionary War, and the ratification of the Constitution, he missed the Colonial period by several years.

That said, Young himself was considered a colonizer. He not only led the Saints across the plains into the Salt Lake Valley, but he also sent teams of men and families from the church to colonize various parts of Utah and surrounding territories.
