Joseph (Book of Mormon)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Joseph Smith.
In the Book of Mormon, Joseph is a priest, and a youngest brother of the prophets Nephi and Jacob.

The chapter 2 Nephi 3 deals with Lehi blessing Joseph specifically:
1 And now I speak unto you, Joseph, my last-born. Thou wast born in the wilderness of mine afflictions; yea, in the days of my greatest sorrow did thy mother bear thee. (2 Nephi 3:1)[1]
It appears that Joseph married and had children, and the Encyclopedia of Mormonism states that "the Josephites are implied to have been descendants of Joseph, Nephi's youngest brother. The text is silent on any distinctive characteristics."[2]
