Illinois and is buried in Panther Creek cemetery in Scottville Township of Macoupin Co. Illinois. Joshua and his father Jesse moved their families from NC. to Maury/Marshall Co. Tn and Joshua was decon of the Shiloh (Rock Creek) Baptist Church near Lewisburg in Maury Co. Tn for several years. Land records show Joshua and sons Thomas, john, and Isham bought land in Macoupin Co. Illinois in 1834-1836 and Samual, Isham and Sion (son of John) bought land in Wayne Co. Illinois.
