Notes for Joshua (Spouse 1)
1851 - Joshua molded and baked brick with which he built a large house 20 X 40 feet: two rooms up and two rooms down, one for the boys and one for the girls upstairs. The old house was left to the back, to use as a kitchen. He owned a grist mill (treat power) from 1850 to 1861, when he was forced to leave the country near Lexington, Kentucky, because he sympathized with the north during the war between the states. Since the Confederates would havae hung him if they found him. he hid in a corn shock for a week as they were watching his home, day and night. Finally he slipped out and got across the Ohio River, and was safe. His family had to sneak food to him while he was hiding, for him to survive. later, his family gatheredup all their possessions in a wagon and drove to a spot near Holder, Illinois, where they rejoined him.
