Good morning Trish, Welcome to the ROOTWALKER family! We don't have any answers to your questions on hand at this time. I am putting your email in our Archives Folder to research at TSLA or another library or archives. We'll try to find the marriage records for Rilla and Ann, and will see if the cemetery records show any dates of death for Josh. We will also keep an eye out for anything else that may help you. We will post any information we find or let you know if we didn't find anything that might be helpful. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family! "This Land Is Our Land!"
