HELEN, Thank you for the information. I think I had seen almost every one of the Joshuas listed below except the Bucks Co. one. The Joshua b.ca 1716, is the one born May 03, 1717 which is the Joshua Brown that married Hannah Gatchell. The Joshua Brown b.1745 son of Joshua Brown and Hannah Gatchell, supposedly died Jan 22,1760 and that is why they named their child that was born in Feb. 1760 Joshua. But, I have to admit I can't find in any Quaker records the recorded death in Jan 1760. But then, why would they name a second son Joshua if they already had one that was still alive by that name? So he probably did die, I just haven't found the reference. Several other researchers have that death date. This Joshua [[> There is also a Joshua Brown in Bucks County he appears as follows: Brown, Joshua- December 31, 1784 Parents Charles and Charlotte- Records of the Falls Friends Monthly Meeting birth records begin 1683.]] Our Joshua Brown was definitely b.abt. 1765 (within a year or so), and he did have a son named Joshua, but he was definitely born September 26, 1799. So the one above, son of Charles & Charlotte unfortunately can't be ours either because he would be way too young, and because that is not the birthdate of the child of our Joshua, then Charles would not be our Joshua either??? Whew!! I get exhausted trying to figure this one out! :~) I really appreciate everyone for trying to help. I may try to concentrate on the Maryland side of the border now and see if anything familiar strikes a cord. thanks, Kathy Wells. ----- Original Message ----- From: <HiTudy@aol.com> To: <PAHUNTIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2003 3:04 PM Subject: Re: [PAHUNTIN] Joshua Brown info > Kathy, > Humphrey's Pa.
