History - The Morrisites, or as they styled themselves, "The Church of the Firstborn," were an apostate splinter group which had branched off the Church. This church was founded by Joseph Morris.
Joseph Morris, self-acclaimed prophet and leader of the Morrisites, was born in 1817, and joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when he was twenty-three years old while he was living in England.
He married Mary Thorpe and brought her to America, where they resided in St. Louis for two years. Moving to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Joseph became the local L.D.S. congregation's branch president.
Morris and his family immigrated to Utah in 1853, and after several moves ended up in the small community of South Weber.
