Josiah Sr wife Laivina Rev. Josiah JR wife Juda/Judith Lilly Josiah III wife also a Judith Lilly (seeing the confusion build Josiah IV wife ? (I can not recall at this moment However if Josiah III and Josiah IV had JR's, that would be 6 Josiah men all together and if they named JR's, it could be 8 men and so on. Confusing, yep you bet cha. This is the reason for the need to keep dates of birth and wifes with names if possible. Happy Easter, Cousin Robin
