After Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were murdered in Carthage, Illinois, Brigham Young and other members of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles lead a group of followers to what is now Salt Lake City, Utah. Joseph Smith told the Church members before his death that they would eventually move to the Rocky Mountains, and so they did. Other members stayed in Illinois for a time and then moved to Missouri under the direction of Joseph Smith's son, Joseph Smith III. That group is now known as the Community of Christ, based in Independence, Missouri.
