• Notes

  "Joseph (unmarried) being of a roving nature and actuated by some imaginary enterprise, started with a chum on an overland trip to New Orleans. I do not know how long he was absent but it was supposed by the family he acquired considerable means and started for home by what in those days was a slow rough way of transit by ocean. After a long delay a letter came from the captain stating that he had been very ill, had died from sea sickness and was buried at sea. No money nor any of his effects ever reached the family." (written by Calista Remington Bowen in her memories of family stories, after age 90)
