Bob, I had completely forgotten that! Old-age I suppose. As for his date of birth, I first found him with his father, Josiah, Jr. at age 6 in 1850; then in 1860 he was 17. 1870 I lost him, not with father; 1880 he was 37, 1900 he was 57 and 1910 he was 67 - which all seems to agree with Find A Grave's data of March 31, 1843. As for his connections, like I said he was with his father, Josiah, Jr. in 1850; there was a Josiah age 50-60 in 1840 with a son 20-30 which could be Josiah Jr., in 1830 I didn't find anyone in Orange Co. NC I thought likely, and in 1820 there was a Joseph that could fit, but when you get into the 1840's and beyond, it's mostly guesswork. I never found anything that suggests Alexander was in Orange Co., NC -- so your guess would be as good as mine. For now, I'm assuming Josiah Joseph's father was Josiah, Jr., and Josiah, Jr., father was Josiah Sr. and that's as far as I go. Josiah Joseph was in Orange Co., NC in 1850, then from 1860 onward he was in McNairy Co., TN. Three of his children ended up in Texas and the other four probably died in McNairy Co. or at least in TN.
