• Notes

  Marriage: Authors with access to the original records list Joshua and Hannah's marriage as 12 November 1776. The "official" transcription gives it as 21 November 1776. I believe the transcription is in error. Death: The date on his headstone reads, "5 January 1821," which is probably an error. [6]
