Bill, I'm not sure if we are connected, but it could be a possibly. The Joseph Wilson Page (2nd generation) I have found both the name Joseph and Josiah used. In fact, when he is listed as a Confederate soldier, he is listed as Josiah W. Page, 38th Cavalry Company K, Mississippi. But in a newspaper clipping I found looking up his death, I found him listed as Joseph W. Page. Joseph and Josiah are both family names. My brother 's middle name is Joseph. My uncle's Josiah. I have been unable to get past North Carolina, or find the path from North Carolina to Mississippi. They probably did come through Georgia. So, there may be some connection. Hope we can find it.
