Thanks John, Every little bit helps. By putting together pieces of info, I'm getting a profile of Josiah's life. The more information I get on little items, the more I can establish a place/time line on his life, and hopefully will find out who his parents were, and what happened to the 4 children born between 1794-1800. What was a seemingly impossible task a couple of years ago appears to be attainable. Any info you come across will always be welcome. Thanks, Cliff
