THE WARREN FAMILY

In America

HUMPHREY WARREN

Believed to be a descendant of John the Eighth Earl of Warren and Surrey and who were descended from the Plantagenet Kings. Humphrey was born in Poynton, England, July 7, 1632. He was a merchant and the third child of Edward Warren and Margaret Arderne and was in Maryland by 1657. Humphrey married Eleanor Smoot, daughter of Thomas Smoot. He was granted February 12, 1662-3 a tract of three hundred acres of land called "Frailty" in Charles County. Humphrey was an active Protestant, and was appointed a Commissioner of the Peace, September 16, 1670. He died intestate in 1673 at his place of residence "Halton's Point", Charles County, Maryland. His known children: Humphrey Jr. (see will), Margaret, Mary, and Thomas Warren (see will.)

See Harry Wright Newman's "Charles County Gentry" pgs 284-288

THOMAS WARREN

Thomas Warren was the son of Eleanor second wife of Humphrey Warren from whom he inherited the farm "Frailty". Thomas' will date January 6, 1705-6, and proved November 27, 1710. He married before June 13, 1688, to Mary Barton, born 1665 and died 1700. Thomas married second to Jane Smoot who died before 1688. Children: (1) Thomas living in 1757 deceased without heirs by 1765 when Humphrey Warren deeded fifty acres, part of Frailty, to Notley Warren witnesses by Robert Warren, Liber L-3, f. 663. It had been willed to Thomas entail; in case he had no heirs, to Humphrey entail. (2) Capt. Barton born 1696 Charles County, Maryland died February or March 1757 Charles County, Maryland and married first Mary Grieve and second Elizabeth (Gwyn) Boarman, widow of John Boarman. (3) Mary no info. (4) Sarah no info. (5) Elizabeth no information and (5) Humphrey mentioned in his father’s will as an unborn child. He probably was the Humphrey to whom Capt. Barton Warren’s executors paid 200 pounds of tobacco due him in 1758 (Charles County Accounts, Liber XL1, F.256).

BARTON WARREN

Barton Warren of Charles County, Maryland, inherited the farms "Frailty" and "Strife" from his father Thomas' estate in 1705. He married first Martha Grieve who died in 1742, second Elizabeth (Gwynn) Boarman. His will dated February 3, 1757, proved March 9, 1757. In it he names wife Elizabeth and eight children: (1) Jane who married Barton Hungerford. (2) Mary who married first Harrison Musgrove, second to John Stone. In 1779 Mary, widowed for the second time in Charles County, Maryland, removed with her children to Pittsylvania County, Virginia. When John Stone’s estate was distributed 5 Nov. 1776, Edward Warren was one of the sureties for Mary as executrix. Two years later, further court papers show her to have left the state. By Stone family accounts, she was in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, where many of the Stones already lived. Mary’s daughter Sarah Briscoe died in 1781. Her Pittsylvania County will was witnessed by an Edward Warren. It is quite reasonable to assume that this Edward was her uncle, the same man who was surety for her mother five years before. That will lists Sarah’s brother Harrison Musgrove and brother (in-law) John Briscoe. Mary’s youngest son, the Rev. Barton Warren Stone (1772-1844), Presbyterian minister who, while living in Kentucky, and the Rev. Alexander Campbell were the reformers of the sectarian beliefs of their day which caused the rise of the Christian Church (Church of Christ). (3) Notley Warren, born 1736 died 1768 Charles County, Maryland, married Mary. Wills Libber XXXVI, f. 646. (4) John Warren, died 1773, will filed Nov. 10, Charles County, Wills Liber XXXIX, f. 435 married Jane. Their children were Anne, John, Elizabeth and Eleanor. (5) William Barton Warren born 1738 and died 1818 in Kentucky. His will was written November 6, 1811 in Woodford County, Kentucky, was proved August 1818 in Scott County, Kentucky. A courthouse fire partially destroyed the records, but the burnt fragments were recopied into the court books. This provided the names of wife Jane, executor, son William and some who were bequeathed one-sixth that are lost along with the legatees. Except Sally Mitchell of my late daughter Polly Bain, to be equally divided; Nancy Blanton; Judith Christopher; remaining sixth part to Ambrose. He married Mary Jane Yates, their children were: Lydia Brisco who married March 20 1788, Lancaster County, Virginia, Richard Ambrose Pittman; Polly names in her father’s will as deceased. She married October 11, 1788 in Lancaster County, Virginia to George Bain, Jr. Their daughter Sally married Solomon Mitchell June 22, 1808 in Woodford County. He was a Private in Captain Virgil McCracken’s Company of the First Rifle Regiment, Kentucky Volunteers War of 1812. Their other daughter was Jincy who married William Peacock; Nancy who married James Blanton in Woodford County 1772-3; Judith who married William Christopher (from will), Daughter ?? who married a Brent and William Monroe born July 1, 1775 Lancaster Courthouse, Virginia and died July 22, 1824 Georgetown, Kentucky, married Maria Watkins Fauntleroy whose father was Captain John Fauntleroy Kentucky pioneer an mother Maria Keene. One of William’s sons compiled the list of the later homes of the children of Robert Warren of Tennessee in 1863 and which Alfred C. Yost quoted in his data and used here. Susanna married May 20 1796, in Woodford County, Kentucky. Ambrose Pittman her father giving written consent May 18 1796 with signatures witnessed by Richard Pitman and Lydia Pitman, James Blanton bondsman. (6) Susannah Warren a spinster in 1758. (7) No specific date of birth has been found for Edward Warren, but it was likely by 1753. In 1774, he was cited as administrator of Susan Gwynn, so he was apparently of majority by that time. For the next five years, Edward appears frequently in Charles County records, including as a signer of the Oath of Allegiance. On 28 MAY 1779, he was appointed as Ensign of Captain Jonathon Yeates’ company of the Maryland militia. This is the last found reference to Edward in Charles County. Ensign Edward V. Warren was living in Charles County Maryland in 1779 and moved to Pittsylvania County, Virginia and later to Georgia. His son, David, was clerk of the Greene County, Tennessee court in 1798. The 1782 Pittsylvania County census lists Edward Warren as head of a household of six white souls immediately between Harrison Musgrove and John Briscoe. (18) By the 1785 census, Edward heads a household of seven, (19) fitting quite well with his marriage to Becky Dabney a few months before. It also fits well with references to his will in Bedford County, Tennessee, indicating he had children before his marriage to Becky (see below).

Using these facts, a reasonable surmise can be constructed concerning Edward from 1779 (last reference in Charles County, MD) to 1781 (first reference in Pittsylvania County, VA.) Although he was commissioned in the militia, there is no record of actual service. It is likely that it was cut short by the death of his first wife (of whom no record has been found), leaving him with five young children. It is also reasonable to assume he moved to Pittsylvania County, VA, to be near his sister, with whom he was obviously close. It is further likely that he needed her help with his children.

(8) Robert Warren who was born September 6, 1742, Frailty, Charles County, Maryland died October 28, 1826 near Louisville, Blount County, Tennessee.

Grave of Robert Warren in Louisville Cemetery Blount County, TN

Louisville Community Cemetery

ROBERT WARREN

Born September 6, 1742, in Charles County Maryland. On his D.A.R. marker at Louisville, Blount County, Tennessee is July 14, 1745 - October 7, 1826. He served as a Private in the Continental Line of Virginia during the War of the American Revolution. He married first in Charles County, Maryland, to Martha Briscoe daughter of William Briscoe and Ann Dent, second to Parmelia Love, December 27, 1767, third to Mary Law, who died by 1824. Some references list only two wives and two sons who died in their youth; Barton Love, born August 15, 1770, died 1797, and Humphrey. During dam construction by T.V.A. for flood control of the Tennessee River, Ft. Loudon Lake covered the family cemetery. Robert's stone and a shovel full of his remains were moved to the Louisville Community Cemetery and placed in a plot with other family members. From the Sevier Family History it is stated Robert Warren left Charles County, Maryland after 1765 but early in life lived in Virginia until after the Revolution. He is accepted as a Virginia Revolutionary soldier by the DAR, based on reference 8-C-200, Williamsburg, Wednesday, 12th June 1776: “Ordered that a warrant issue to John Pendliton for use of Robert Warren, for three pounds, nineteen shillings, and six pence, for provisions furnished Captain Stephens and Captain Hayes, their companies.” 8-C-225, Williamsburg, Thursday, June 27, 1776: “A warrant to Robert Warren for 2.9.6. for removing cannon from New Kent Court House to Cumberland Town,” New Kent County. Also, the records of the distribution of certificates for the balance of full pay agreeable to the Act of the Assembly passed in November 1781. The record lists him as a soldier in the infantry. James Driver received his pay of 36 pounds on January 24, 1783. James Driver served in the 11th and 15th Regiments of the Virginia Continental Line. The 1850 Census of Clay Co. Kentucky, stated that Robert’s daughter, Susannah, was born in 1779 in Virginia. Robert came to Greene County, Tennessee in the 1780’s. The village of Warrensburg, about 17 miles southwest of Greeneville on the Little Chucky Creek, is situated on his land grant, which adjoined Col. Henry Conway’s land. It appears that the Warrens, Conways and Loves all came to Greene County about the same time and had known each other previously. The Conways and Loves had probably first known each other in Fauquier County, Virginia by the time of the Revolution. There are many Robert Warren land transactions listed in the Greene County deed books and from these it is shown he was taxed on 512 acres on Jan. 25, 1809 and three black polls. He moved to Blount County, Tennessee between Jan. and Nov. 1809. The children of Robert Warren who were living in 1826 and were listed in his Blount County, Tennessee, Will Book 1, page 160. Robert Warren's children as found in his Will are now listed 1-19 in blue.

Charles was Justice of the Peace in Blount County, Tennessee 1871-1832. After leaving Blunt County, he bought a farm in Jefferson County, Tennessee about one mile west of New Market, a small village without a church or school. With the help of family, neighbors, and friends, he was instrumental in erecting a Methodist Church building and a school and dormitory. The school was known as Holston College.

Maryville Times, (Blount Co. TN) Wednesday, November 23, 1892:

"Gone To His Reward---Barton L. Warren, one of the oldest and most noted citizens of this section, died at his residence, Louisville, Tennessee Mr. Warren was born in Virginia in the year 1800 and was consequently ninety-two years of age. When seven years old he came with his father, a pioneer Methodist preacher, and eleven other children to Knoxville. The older Warren settled on First Creek, near the river.

The subject of this sketch entered upon a successful business career at an early age, and at the outbreak of the war was the wealthiest man in Blount County, owning a vast estate and many slaves. To each of his children at the time of their marriage he gave a handsome sum to start them in life.

He has always been a kind neighbor, and willing at all times to lend a helping hand to those in need. The destitute never left his door empty handed.

Mr. Warren was well known as an active politician. As a Democrat he stood at the head of the list. He was an active worker for his party’s interest and voted the ticket from his majority up until the last election. At this he was too feeble to go to the polls, this being the only election that he missed since he came of age.

James K. Polk was a great favorite with the old gentleman. He gave an entertainment in honor of Polk at one time, to which he invited 500 people. They were bountifully fed.

Messrs. C.W. Steele and L.S. the well known real estate dealers of this city, are his grandsons and they speak in the highest terms of the old gentleman’s many good qualities.

He attended the Democratic rally just before the election in 1884. As the procession passed through Gay Street [Knoxville] he sat in front of the Hattie House and cheered as lustily as any young Democrat in the town. The next morning as he bade Mr. C.W. Steele’s family good-bye he remarked with tears in his eyes: “I never expect to be in Knoxville again,” and he never was.

Mr. Warren is the last link in the neighborhood that connects the present generation with the long age. He was a good citizen, lived to a good old age, and those who have so familiarly known “Barton” Warren in times gone by, will regret that the old landmark is gone, and will trust that his reward is sure. ---Knoxville Journal. Mr. Warren was the father of Mrs. W.M. Steele of this place.

Rebecca Elizabeth Warren

The old Warren Stewart Home stood at the intersection of DeKalb County Roads 209 and 212. It was decided in 2005 the historical societies nor the county could do little to help preserve this pre Civil War Home. By this time the roads leading to the home were paved for the use of a Land Fill Company and the dirt road isolation that had once help hide its presence gave way to "progress" It was burned by someone who had nothing else to do but destroy one of the oldest homes in DeKalb County. The place could not escape the fiery match of the present generation that gives little interest or regards for historical things.

## Benjamin Holland

Holland Family Records Compiled by Pat & James H. Holland. "Benjamin Holland came to America in the late 1750's and settled on the East Coast of Maryland. There he married an English lady by the name of Pruitt or Purter. The following story is told by his son, Thomas Holland who was born on December 24,1759 on the east coast of Maryland. The family went to Pittsylvania County, Virginia when he was a small lad and later into Montgomery county, Virginia. Benjamin Holland paid Tax on 400 Acres in Montgomery County, Va. in 1782, in the New River area. We find Benjamin Holland in 1795 purchasing land on the North side of the French Broad River which at that time was Jefferson County, Tennessee. In 1810 we find Benjamin Holland receives 350 acres of land on a warrant in Del Reo, Tennessee and gives this land to his sons Thomas and John Holland. On the 1830 Cocke County, Tennessee census we find an old man that would be his age living in the household of his son, John Holland. It is felt that he died before Thomas Holland, his sons and their families and some of his brother's (John Holland) children left in the later part of 1833 to come to Clay County, Missouri. Jacob Holland was born in 1791 in Green County, Tennessee and married Elizabeth Warren and moved to Siever County, before coming to Missouri. He tells the story that there were seven brothers who came to America from the Netherlands in the late 1750's, and six of the brothers went with the Colonist and one went with the British. He was driven into the Carolinia's. Some of the brothers and their sons went into the South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi. Some went into Virginia and into Kentucky it is believed. Many of these brother's sons were in the Revolution. Thomas Holland was living in Montgomery County, Virginia when the Revolutionary War started. Thomas, John, and Jacob Holland all joined the Virginia Troops in April 1781. Thomas was involved much earlier. We don't know all of Benjamin Children."

For more on Lydia Warren Holland, see The Warrens and You by Elizabeth Prather Ellsberry pages 242-245.

12. John F.W.A. Warren, born April 10, 1793; died after 1863, in Southwest Missouri, married July 14, 1806, to Nancy Smith, Greene County, Tennessee. On Feb. 29, 1814 he is listed from Cook County, Tennessee and for $370.00, bought 73&1/2 acres on the waters of the Holston River in Blount County from his brother William B. Warren. Elizabeth Prather Ellsberry stated “In 1819, with his brothers, Edward V., William B., Robert, and their sister, Elizabeth (Mrs. Jack Holland) headed for Boone's Lick Settlement in Missouri. They trekked over land through Tennessee to the Mississippi River, and then took a boat up river. Robert Warren got off a Cape Girardeau, settled in that area until his death. John F.W.A. and his sister, Elizabeth, left William B. and Edward V. at St. Louis, Missouri, going to southwest Missouri.” in her book The Warrens and You. Some think this should read John F. and W.A. was another son, and that the coma was omitted in his father's will, but I think not, for Samuel Dobson (#8) named a son John F.W.A., who is buried with his wife Emily M., in Killian Cemetery, DeKalb County, Alabama. He is also a witness for his brother Samuel D. Warren in the Southern Claims against the U.S. Government.

13. Elizabeth G. Warren, born November 22, 1796; died January 9, 1868, Tennessee. Some records state she married (1) April 18, 1803, to John McLin, Greene County, Tennessee Marriage Book entry 877. Either her date of birth must be given incorrectly, or this marriage record refers to some other person. (2) She married Jacob Holland.

July 1, 1801, immigrated to Iowa and settled in Lee County, where he cut some logs and employed a man to put them up in the shape of a cabin, he afterwards abandoned the idea of settling there and made a claim three miles south east of where Pella is now located. He planted twenty acres of corn and wheat in the following spring.

Dr. Warren was among the first Ministers of the M. E. Church who preached in the County and organized the first class west of Libertyville. He was licensed as a local preacher in 1828, ordained a deacon at Oskaloosa ion 1852 and ordained an Elder by Bishop Ames in 1863. He also began the practice of medicine in 1831.

He continued this practice until a short time before his death, in this he was very successful during his residence in this county, especially in the management of miasmatic diseases to which the early settlers were subject, and his field of practice often extended from Oskaloosa to “Tools Point” now Monroe, Iowa, Jasper County, and over a large territory north and south of this route. Over this wide field he ministered both in spiritual and temporal things. He was a man universally loved and respected by all who knew him. Many instances illustrative of charitable nature and many acts of kindness performed by him have been related to us and are well remembered by many who have shared the privations of pioneer life with him. His departure was made joyful by the hope of eternal life.

The first meeting for religious worship was held at the home of Dr. Warren. From the book of original entries we find that the first lands purchased in Black Oak Town were as follows:

Wesley Metter 5-08-1847 - apart of section 8

Eliza Holman 8-05-1847 - a part of section 30

Fielding Betz 9-15-1847 - a part of section 9 & 17

James L. Warren 9-15-184 7- a part of section 9 & 167

John Woods 9-15-1847 - a part of section 11

B. H. Lonsberry 9-15-1847 - a part of section 16

Dr. Warren preached several times in a blacksmith shop belonging to a Henry Winder, were among anvils, tools and bellows, a small assembly of worshippers assembled upon the quiet Sabbaths to hear the word of Life.

(1) Peoria was first called Warrenville because of our ancestors.

(2) The town was laid out by Theodric Spain in 1853.

(3) An unofficial list of Postmasters at Warrenville is as follows:

Elbert D. Warren Aug. 16, 1849

James L. Warren June 30, 1851

Name of Warrenville changed to Peoria at this time

James L. Warren Nov. 15, 1854

The Post office was closed in 1905

The official records obtained from Washington D. C. does not include the first 2 names above and start with James L. Warren 3-15-1854. For many years the bridge crossing the Skunk River was called the Warren Bridge (now replaced) and in the same area was the Warren Mill. Also a Clarence Warren, who lived in Peoria, had no children, worked for the Peoria Store and drove a huckster wagon.

The first township election was held April 1846 and there were twenty-two votes cast. The names of these voters will afford very authentic evidence of who were the first and early settlers. James L. Warren was one of the twenty-two.

JUDGES

The first gospel preaching was done by the Rev. James L. Warren, in the summer of 1843, at the residence of Noah Whitlack. On this occasion the Doctor, having sent an appointment to preach there at 11 o’clock a.m. on a certain Sabbath, walked the distance between his residence, in Lake Prarie, and the place appointed, arrived too late. The people had collected, waited a long time, and then dispersed. After they were all gone the Rev. Dr. made his appearance, weary and heated with his long journey. After having come so far he was not disposed to return without accomplishing his mission, so he announced he would preach at night if the people could be notified of it. Thereupon runners were sent to notify them and he was available to hold forth to a goodly number of hearers.

OBITUARY OF JAMES R. WARREN

James R. Warren, the subject of this sketch, was born in Blount County Tennessee, February 6, 1832, and with his parents Dr. James Law Warren and family re-moved in 1841 to Lee County, Iowa, and settled a few miles east and south of West Point, where they remained until 1844, when they re-moved to Mahaska County, Iowa. In 1866 he was united in marriage to Georgiana Dickey, and made his home in Mahaska County until 1888, when he returned to Lee County, settling near Dover, where he remained until death, which occurred February 24, 1897, at 3:00 o’clock P.M. His illness was a short duration, he being confined to the house only 12 days, and was brought on by an attack of la grippe, which he had a short time previous. He was united with the M.E. Church in early life, was a consistent Christian man in whom the grace of charity always shown in his dealings with his fellowmen; kindly, affectionate to his wife and children who tenderly cared for him. He was patient and resigned in his affection and faced the inevitable without fear until he saw the grief of his loved ones and remembered that death meant an earthly separation. He arose from his couch and being seated in a chair and being unable to talk further was returned to his bed. He said, “don’t want to leave you.” and folded his Mantle about him and crossed the dark river to be with loved ones gone before. He died trusting in the merits of Christ for salvation. He leaves one brother, two sisters, and an affectionate wife, five daughters Georgia, Margaret, Ethel Mae, Kathryn Arminta and two sons, Benjamin Franklin and Charles Wesley, to morn his loss. The funeral services were conducted from the family residency last Friday afternoon at 3:00 o’clock. The interment took place at the Clay Grove Cemetery. Rev. Malleney of West Point was the officiating Clergyman. Mr. Warren’s only brother R. B. Warren. of Des Moines, who was summoned by telegraph, arrived the night before his brother’s death, and attended the funeral. Mr. and Mrs. Essex of Ft. Madison, and Mrs. R. A. Donnall of Donnellson, cousins of the deceased attended the funeral. The bereaved family has the sympathy of the entire community.

15. Dr. Notley Marcus Warren, born October 25, 1802, in Tennessee; died May 19, 1872; buried in Warren Graveyard at Nazareth Baptist Church, DeKalb County, Alabama. He married Polly (Mary) Van Pelt, March 14, 1822, Blount County, Tennessee, who was born April 9, 1803. They moved into Alabama in 1832-33 to DeKalb County with his family and brothers Samuel Dobson, (#8) and Joshua Well (#17), and nephews Henry Patterson, and Samuel Douthet. Notley was a State Representative from DeKalb County in 1845-46, 1847-48, 1851-52, 1865-66, 1866-67 sessions. He was the Registrar of Lebanon and Centre, Alabama Land Offices. At his death his estate was administered by son-in-law William A. Mitchell between 1875-78, found in Probate Record Book J., pages 192, 203, 204, 219, 220, 234, 404, and 408 naming wife, heirs, and children:

(1) Robert Joe Warren, born October 16, 1824; died before 1900; married July 7, 1844, to Mary Adams. See page 140 for his information.

(2) Mary Emeline Warren, born September 10, 1826; married William Whited born in 1825 in Tenn. They both are dead before 1870. Their children listed in the 1850 and 1860 DeKalb County, Alabama. Census were:

a. Mary A. Whited 12 yrs.

b. John Warren Whited born September 9, 1862 died January 23, 1936 (from his head stone) married Nancy born June 16, 1858 and died August 29, 1928 (from her head stone in Warren Graveyard.). A John is listed with this family in the 1850 census as 4 months of age. He is not listed with the family in the 1860 census. Perhaps he did not survive. However there is a John Whited listed in the 1870 census in the grandparents NM Warren family and as 7 years of age; too young to be the John of 1850. Maybe another child was given the name John and mother did not survive childbirth. All speculation.

John and Nancy’s children: Young Whited, Billy Whited, Dora Whited (Ashley), and Nora Whited (Brown) See photo below.

c. James P. Whited born Feb. 11, 1850 died Jan. 19, 1937 (from his head stone) married Harriet C. born May 23, 1847 and died Dec. 22, 1899.

Barbara and Warren are listed in her grandfather Notley Warren’s Probate. Warren bought Notley’s estate for $105 January 1878. Warren was the oldest of seven brothers and was the Postmaster of Black Oak, January 31, 1876. A closer look at the 1860 census reveals the first letter to be a B instead of a P as read from a microfilm reader in 1980s and today from a CD that can be magnified and enhances to reveal the B.

e. T.N. Whited 4 yrs. Male. Thomas is listed in his grandfather Notley Warren’s Probate.

During this service he was left with several ailments that were treated by his father-in-law Dr. Notley M. Warren until the Dr’s. death. This is revealed in William’s pension papers along with his second marriage, to Josephine A. Shankles on November 19, 1908. John Whited, wife Nancy E. Whited, W. E. Durham, and John W. Brown also give depositions or witness to William’s many papers and forms that were required to receive a pension # 1059549 and 2705910. He died February 3, 1914.

(5) Louisa Catherine Warren was the third daughter of Notley and Mary VanPelt Warren. She was born March 21, 1839 just a few years after her family moved to Alabama. She like many young girls of her time entered into adult life much sooner than is usually done today. She married her schoolteacher Samuel Carrick Gilbreath had a son and died before she was 16 years of age. We speculate the cause being complications from childbirth, although many other causes were always present in those early pioneer times. Her father we know was a physician and probably could not save her with the knowledge of his day. Samuel Carrick Gilbreath was born April 20, 1821and at 33 years of age he and son Joseph 5 years can be found in the 1860 Cherokee County U.S. Census in his father-in- law Notley Warren’s home. Notley was listed as the Land Registrar and Samuel was un-employed. He was also the first postmaster of Black Oak appointed March 25, 1872. The personal papers and the family pages from his Bible are among the very few we have found from this time.

He was a member of the old Town Creek Baptist Church, which he was instrumental in building. He was a staunch supporter of the Republican Party, but never ran for an office. The Gilbreaths moved to Fort Payne in 1931 and operated a small grocery store which they purchased from Vergil Prewett until William Gilbreath died.

Joshua Well Warren

1806-1891

17. Joshua Well Warren was born in Greene County, Tennessee, December 9, 1806; died September 3, 1891. He married Nancy Van Pelt on March 1, 1827, in Blount County, Tennessee. Nancy was born also in Green County, Tennessee February 8, 1809 and died March 27, 1875. They came with family to DeKalb County, Alabama, in the 1830's and moved to Talladega County, Alabama, in the 1850's. Joshua must have been a very religious man. On October 1851, as a trustee of Bethel Methodist Church along, with Reese Howell, Francis A. Lang, John J. Finley, and Morgan H. Barrett, land was purchased from Andrew Whittinburg and wife Ann for the use of the church. This is recorded in the Talladega County Probate Office, Deed Book “H”, on page 270 and 271.
