You have Willoughby as the son of Josiah. But, I have a question to ponder - why was Josiah named guardian of Lewis, Patsy, and Willoby on Dec. 1, 1815 in Edgefield Dist, SC if he was their father? Why weren't they named as children of him in his will dated in 1842? These three - Lewis, Patsy, and Willoughby, were still living at the time Josiah died. So, are they really his children or perhaps children of a deceased brother or cousin?
