Joshua and Polly were among the first settlers in the area on the west fork of the Pigeon River. They owned 200 acres by 1826, and another 100 acres by 1859.
Joshua listed in the Haywood County Poll Book, pp. 208-217 for August, 1835.
The original home was believed to be near the mouth of what is now known as Inman Branch. The land deed mentioned above in 1826 was made out to Joshua Inman for a tract of land on Ned's Branch, which is now Inman Branch. The land was bought from John Blount, the amount was 100 acres. On January 12, 1859, Robert Love sold Joshua Inman 100 acres on Flora's Branch for $100. This land now is known as Inman's Branch also.
The family was in the process of constructing a log cabin for Joshua and Mary around 1860 when the Civil War started. The log house was constructed from timber on their land. The timber was of excellent quality and furnished large logs for the two-room house. There was a chimney at each end and a partition of large hewed logs which cut the house into two rooms. During the construction, a large tree blew across the house and split several of the logs. Before the house was finished, the war started.
All six of Joshua's sons fought for the Confederacy. Only two of those boys survived the war, two died in Camp Douglas prison camp in Chicago. One war letter states that Hezekiah saw his brothers, Logan and Joe at Cumberland Gap; another battlefield letter one week later states that Hezekiah buried his brother Ervin that very day.
