I wanted to say that Rev Josiah was a JR. He was not born in 1736 but his father Josiah SR was born around then. There are documents in Botetourt County VA that have JR handling the Estate of Josiah SR in 1793. Rev. Josiah JR then moved on further to Summers County WV (Hinton WV). Josiah SR father's was Jonas, Jonas Will in Cumberland County VA along with wife's Will name Frances. Jonas father was John wife Elizabeth White they are found in Essex County VA. Will of John 1721 and Estate stuff. John's father is Thomas Wills and deeds found in Essex County VA Thomas Father is Ambrose Mador/Meador found in Essex County Deeds Hope this helps, Robin
