Thurmon, That does look more likely to me. As I said, I do think that Joseph being a son is a very good possibility, but he likely didn't make it out of childhood. I also wanted to clarify something in what I originally wrote. When I said that Azariah had 200 acres of property that he hadn't had previously, what I wasn't clear about was that his father Joseph had had 200 acres of property. So no one had that 200 acres assessed between 1820 and 1822. Then in 1823, it shows up on Azariah's assessment. And then in he only has 100 acres in 1824. Brother David does not appear on the tax rolls after 1821, and so my supposition is that half the property was sold and the proceeds given to David as his share before he moved on, or it was just given to David and he sold his half and moved on. the other interesting thing regarding taxes and property is that father Joseph had no real estate assessed until 1808 when he had 80 acres. In 1813, that jumped up to 200 acres. In 1812, Joseph's brother Elijah sold his property in Fannet Township, Franklin County, PA (see transcription here: http://hobbits8.net/getperson.php?personID=I737&tree=PLH ) and that jump in the size of the property for Joseph the year after makes me think that the land that Elijah sold was possibly more familial than personally his. Perhaps after selling the Fannett township property, Joseph received his share of the proceeds and bought the extra acreage in Warrior's Mark Township, Huntingdon County, where he lived. ALSO notice, who witnessed the deed in 1812! You can't tell how I typed that originally, because the formatting on the web changed it, but Elijah and Catharine Sackett were the grantors who signed and Ann Sackett and Jas. Morrison were the witnesses. So there is Ann-- perhaps the same Ann who I have proposed as brother Joseph's wife? The weird thing about all these property deals is that I have been unable to find deeds for all transactions except this one of Elijah's. I've only found another property of 35 acres that Azariah sold to Eliza and John Lee in Centre County, which is NOT in the same area for the property which was much larger he was taxed on in Mifflin County in 1790-1792 (some part of Mifflin went into Centre before 1800, but the area in which they were taxed on does not appear to be the same area that went into Centre). I have looked at Mifflin, Huntingdon, Cumberland, Franklin, and Bedford county deed indexes.
