Dear list, Are Joshua and Josiah interchangeable or are they two different names? What about Hosea? Josea? The reason for my interest is that I am STUCK in 1790 NC. But, my gr gr grandpa had a son named Jonathon Josiah b. ca 1832. This was his firstborn son and we have wondered if it was a grandfather's name. Or perhaps an uncle's namesake? Am still trying to connect with either NC or VA Jordan's and feel this might be a clue. La Nita Jordan Wacker Shoreline, WA
