Ray, That is the totality of the information in these two books (name, county, year). The information on Francis came from volume 1 (not officially named but since there is a volume 2 I reference it that way) and Joshua was found in volume 2.

Can you find out if there are any more details, other than what is quoted here? Thank you. Ray Gurganus ray@gurganus.org www.gurganus.org
