Joseph Leffew's father, Roane County, TN
Trying to find out who my Joseph Leffew actually belongs to. He is listed under Jerusha Leffew, Sterling's widow, in the 1880 census as her son. However, since he wasn't born until around 1875, he could not belong to Sterling. Neither could two of the other children listed, Robert and Thomas. Now, the only thing I knew for sure about Joseph is that he died when my grandma was about 5 (she was born in 1913). So, looked in the Roane County Vital Statistics book, found a Joe Wiley Leffew, died 1918, and the father is listed as Joshua Brown! This must be my Joseph, but who is Joshua Brown??? I don't find anything that tells me Jerusha married again. Did she have these three illegit, or what? If anyone has any info, please let me know!!!
