  • Birth date taken from Centerville Ward records. He and part of his family is seen in the Pennsylvania census taken 14 August 1860, which was after all known companies had left the east, and PEF records first place him in Utah by September of 1861. One daughter (Sarah Ann) came traveled to Utah in the Young/Harmon/Kimball Company in 1861, but it is uncertain if Joshua and the rest of his family traveled with her. Further research is needed.
