Kathy, What is the birth and death date of the Joshua you are looking for and who was his spouse? Have you looked in John Humphrey's Pennsylvania Births? There are several Joshuas that appear, Helen

HELEN, I am hunting Joshua Brown b.ca 1765 either Md/or Penn. He died November 26, 1832, and was married on December 22, 1790 to Charlotte Morris. Most of this came from a bible record. I have everything I need on his children and grandchildren on down. But it is a big mystery trying to lcoate who his parents were and where he was from. Many researchers try to say he is the son of Joshua Brown and Hannah Gatchell in Lancaster Co. But clearly in the Quaker records and probate records, the Joshua Brown b. 2-17-1760, son of Joshua Brown and Hannah Gatchell died in Lancaster Co. in 1823. He left a descriptive Will...so there is no doubt. The strange thing of it is, that my Joshua Brown and this Brown expanded family in Lancaster County did use the same repeated children's name patterns. Soooo...I'll keep hunting for a scrap of proof. I have not heard of this source. [Have you looked in John Humphrey's Pennsylvania Births?] Do you happen to have access to this where you could see if they have my Joshua or any 'Browns' in Huntingdon Co.? There was also a William Brown with similar childrens names that was in Huntingdon County in the 1770s-1780s. He might be a brother to my Joshua Brown. So any 'Brown' information might be helpful. thanks, Kathy Wells.
