Joseph Smith did not start anything, he restored the church of christ.

It was the Mormon church. Mormon is a nickname that was given to the church by people, really the faith is Christianity.
Joseph Smith organized the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly called the "Mormon" church. Church members do not say he 'founded' the Church. They believe that the Church was founded by Jesus Christ, and organized under the direction of Jesus Christ through Joseph Smith.

The Latter-Day Saints (of the last days) are called Mormons because Joseph Smith wrote a book that claims Jesus after death spoke to a man named Mormon and his son Moroni. Smith was killed in 1844 and in 1847, Brigham Young led a group of Mormons from Missouri to Utah.
