Hope I can explain this. Isaac Stackhouse is the Patriot. This all revolves around Monroe County Co. and across the Ohio River in Wetzel Co. ISAAC was born in Hampshire Co. WV and died in Monroe County, Ohio. on the Ohio River. Isaac sired JACOB STACKHOUSE {fact} In GenCircles Jacob sired JOSHUA WOODS STACKHOUSE who is my GG Grandfather born in 9 Jan. 1823 in Hanover, Columbiana Co. Ohio, also on the Ohio River. Died in Wetzel Co.WV. in 1912. There is also a Joshua Stackhouse born the same time in Clinton Co. Ohio. This county is in the South Western part of Ohio near Indiana. Don't think this was Jacob's son, because they were all living in counties on the Ohio River. The problem is in Ancestry it has both these two Joshua's mixed with the decendants that I am sure of. The JOSHUA that died in Proctor,Wetzel Co. WV was were my G Grandfather lived and he and Joshua are buried there. The Census of 1880 has Joshua's parent' s birth blank. These two Joshua's have different wives. Mine has Mary Jane McFarland as his wife and the other has Ellen Jane Spencer. There are several families on ancestry with all the same relatives except for Joshua. Some people have Him and wife Spencer and others have the one with wife McFarland, but everthing else is the same. My Joshua has parents unknown which I find hard to believe. I'm stuck. The GenCircles has my Joshua as a son of Jacob. Ancestry has Joshua from western Ohio as the son of Jacob. Any advice of what to do now would be relly appreciated. If I can't connect my Joshua i have lost my Patriot. Dianne
