We have found some more abstracts, which show John Harrell and Benjamin Clements as neighbors of our Joshua Stephens, so they may or may not be relatives of widow Patty.
I'll start with Benjamin Clements who did sign his name.

(I remember that McCullers is very near Joshua's land when Bart and I were there. )
I remember an Absolom Tyler's Mill that was on Joshua or James Sanders land and saw that John Harrell wittnesed a deed from Absalom Tyler to Mager Samuel Smith, adj. James Sanders, tying them all together as well.
