The Mormon Pioneers left Missouri in 1838 because the governor, Lillbourn W. Boggs, issued an extermination order against them, saying that all Mormons should be "exterminated or driven from the state." This extermination order was in place until 1976.

Who brought the first Mormons to the us?
Nobody. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) was founded in the US - so the first Mormons were already in the US! :) If you are speaking of the first Mormons to move from another country to the US, rather than the first Mormons ever in the US, the answer is still nobody. The first Mormons to move from another country to the US came from Canada, and were not 'brought' by any specific person, only encouraged to move so that they could be nearer to the main body of the church.
