Joshua Sr. died 12 Jan 1833. I have court records but none named the children or the final distribution of the estate. However, in deed records I found where 8 of the children deeded their 1/10th interest in Joshua Sr’s estate to John Berry, the oldest son. I did not find Joshua Jr’s but I know that he is a son as he named his parents in his 1883 marriage license.
