Joseph Smith, Jr. is usually credited as the founder (not finder) of the Mormonism movement. His followers believe that he was a prophet acting under the direction of Jesus Christ, so many would say that Jesus is the founder of Mormonism rather than Joseph Smith.
Joseph Smith is known for being the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) and the father of the Mormonism movement.
Joseph Smith was the person who restored the church. He was the first prophet...but if anybody ever says so, we DO NOT worship him!!!! I know you didn't but...whatever :) Mormonism is a religion, also known as LDS or the actual "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints". Joseph Smith is the founder of this religion, Mormons believe that a more accurate than founder would be restorer as he acted as a servant of God to restore the primitive church read about in the bible.
John Smith had nothing to do with Mormonism. Perhaps you are thinking of Joseph Smith, who founded Mormonism, and whom Mormons consider to be a prophet.
no. Joseph Smith was the founder of mormanism.
Joseph Smith the founder of Mormonism was not a doctor of entomology or anything else, in fact, he had hardly any formal education at all. He was taught reading, writing, and basic math by his mother, and later hired a teacher to help him learn Hebrew.

Joseph Smith, Jr (1805-1843) is the founder of the Mormonism movement. He is viewed as a modern prophet by his followers, who believe that Jesus Christ personally appeared to Joseph and directed him in proper Christian doctrine and organization. His father (Joseph Smith, Sr.) and son (Joseph Smith III) also lived during the 1840's and were influential within the Mormonism movement - Joseph Smith Sr (1771-1840) was the Presiding Patriarch of the Church and a great supporter and believer of his son's teachings. Joseph Smith III (1832-1914) was the appointed leader of a group who split from the main body of the church at the death of Joseph, preferring religious authority to be passed down the family line rather than to senior Apostle Brigham Young.

An easy way to be damned in the eyes of the traditional Mormon church is to not be a faithful Mormon. Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, taught the importance of being a faithful Mormon for salvation.
Joseph Smith had dreams of salamanders that he claimed was an angel. He's not a prophet, and he's buried in the ground like most people :)
