Mormonism originated in the late 1820s, with Joseph Smith who lived in Kirtland, Ohio.
another answer from a Mormon:The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") began on April 6, 1830 in Palmyra, New York. Joseph Smith was the founder and first President of the Church. Shortly after the church was founded, the church's headquarters moved to Kirtland, Ohio because a large number of people in that city had converted to the Church. Persecution then moved Church members to Independence, Missouri, then Nauvoo, Illinois, and eventually to what is now Salt Lake City, Utah.
If you are asking where individual members originate from, that answer is all over the world! There are now congregations of the church in almost every country, and the church has a very aggressive missionary program to spread it's message abroad.
You could aslo discuss the followers of Mormon himself. he had descended of the nephites from the prophet Lehi who fled from Jerusalem in the time of apostacy to sve his life and the life of his family. the line follows down to a man named Mormon and his people.

Why did Gov Ford not protect the Mormons in Illinois after he promised to protect them from the mob attacks?
There are several reasons why Gov Ford didn't protect the Mormons. One he was concerned about retaining his position as Governor and being reelected. the people that opposed the Mormons were politically powerful and had great influence with the Governor. They told the Governor that the Mormons were causing the problems and that the rest of the population were only protecting themselves. They made the Governor believe that the Mormons were threatening the safety of the rest of the population. So he issued the extermination order. The Mormons either had to leave the State of Missouri or be exterminated.
