Thanks Paragon.
I’ve found a terrific book by Tad R. Callister, The Inevitable Apostacy and the Promised Restoration. It is very well written, and it clarified much for me.

Y'all understand what Yellow Roses is claiming here?...that ALL of the founding fathers were "corrupt" apostates.
JosephSmith came along & claimed that some unnamed entities appeared to him 1820, 1821 or 1822 (he couldn't stick to the year) & told him that ALL such "professors" were "corrupt."
