Joshua worked hard as a farm laborer most of his life. He married Ann/Nanncy Highmore abt. 1833. The couple had eight children; one dying after three years. All were born in Gilcrux, except their oldest daughter Margaret, who was an ancestor on my mother's side. As far as I know, she was the only one of their children to come to the US. Some of Joshua and Ann's grandhildren did visit the US.

Joshua is sometimes called John in records. He's buried in the graveyard of the church that was home to many of the family's events.
