This is the closest thing I've found to verification that Theophilus was Joseph's father. Joseph had three children that I know of 1. Levina (23 Feb 1818-27 Jan 1857) m. 1839 Monroe Co. Taylor Jefferies 2. Margaret (12 Dec 1823-08 Jun 1887) m. Abraham Jefferies, and 3. Solomon (ca 1828-?) m. 28 Nov 1850 Monroe Co. Lavina Jane McMahon. Because of the gap between the birth of Levina and Margaret, and that between Margaret and Solomon, I suspect that Joseph had additional children. Solomon had seven children that I know of 1. Sarah (ca 1853-?); 2. Margaret (ca 1854-?) m. 22 Jan 1874 Monroe Co. William Harvey Howell; 3. Thomas (ca 1856-?); 4. Joseph (ca 1858-?); 5. Elmer E. (ca 1866-26 Mar 1868); 6. Ida (11 Mar 1869-27 Apr 1926) m. ? Hornbrook, and 7. Mary B. (ca 1876-Sep 1878). I regret that I do not have any information about Matilda Moffett or the Howell family. I have a great deal of information about the McMahon family and will contact you about them. Bill McMahon
