Shelley Cardiel posted the note about Joshua, the subject of an item on a "Past Connections" Web page. I took a brief look and this is the Joshua in Pat Blanchard Curry's database for "Joseph" and Anne. I seem to recall that at least one of our list members is descended from Joshua and you might be interested in the photos and documents that are available for 'postage' only. If you have not visited "Past Connections", you might find it interesting and maybe even valuable for your reasearch.
