Born in 1801 into a poor Vermont farming family, Brigham Young was the ninth of eleven children. When he was three, his family moved to upstate New York, and at age sixteen, Young left home to start a career as an itinerant carpenter, painter, farmer and general handyman. He married his first wife in 1824.
Young was drawn toward Smith's newly formed Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from his first encounter with the Book of Mormon in 1830. Two years later, he was baptized into the Mormon church, and the same year went to Canada as a missionary.
The rest of Young's life was spent in service to the Mormon Church.

Neither him nor Joe had any education. That is why the elaborate scheme set out by Joe took off among the people in that area. Look at the autobiography of Martin Harris and see what he had so say on this point.
