They including son Joshua, who died in 1851 at the age of 28, daughter Mary Ann, and son John, born in 1824, who headed west to Tuckersmith Township, Huron County, Upper Canada in 1858 and raised a large family.
> The fourth son, Joshua (1801-1848), died in Chinguacousy, leaving his wife Emaline and at least two sons, Isaac and Joseph.
By 1861, most members of the family were improving their homes and expanding their farms, and
some were moving westward.
