Kathy, Humphrey's Pa. Births are a wonderful source. There are 15 volumes. They are Eastern Pa. births before 1700. I did find several Joshua Browns but they weren't in Lancaster County. They were in Chester County. They appear as follows: Brown, Joshua August 27, 1796- Parents David and Hannah- Baptised at Kennett Square Monthly Meeting, established in 1686 Brown, Joshua- June 20, 1745- Parents Joshua and Hannah Brown- Records of the Nottingham Monthly Meeting established in 1729. Brown, Joshua- February 17, 1760- Parents Joshua and Hannah Brown - Records of the Nottingham Monthly Meeting established in 1729 (Strange there are two Joshuas listed as being sons of Joshua and Hanna. Perhaps the first Joshua died????) Brown, Joshua - February 1, 1762- Parents Elisha and Rachel-Records of the Nottingham Monthly Meeting established in 1729. (Maybe this one is yours????) Brown, Joshua - circa 1716 Parents not given - Records of the Nottingham Monthly Meeting established in 1729. 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. There are other children listed as being born to Charles and Charlotte in Bucks County, as there are also more children listed as being children of Joshua and Hanna in Chester County. It is strange that there was a Charles married to a CHARLOTTE as that is one of the names you mentioned as being a wife. Do you think he could have possibly been Charles Joshua or Joshua Charles. Just a thought. Helen
