1. Joshua

In the 1870 census for Clinch County, his land was valued at $500. His home place was on lot 441, 7th district, where he lived until 1871 when he sold out and lived with his son Ezekiel south of Dupont until shortly before his death when he went to Hamilton County, Fla., to live with his son John, Jr. He died there and was buried at Propect Church in that county.
