[This doesn't make sense. Lucretia states she has 2 living children, and since she was born in PA, it does seem to link him to them. Joel married Flo, and the birth records for Eva and B. Lucy show them as parents. Since Flo is the daughter-in-law on the 1910 census, it would indicate that Joel is their son. His burial in Spencer Memorial shows he was born in 1877 and died 1907. Joshua was only 10 in 1877. Is Joshua the father? Was Joel born in 1877? Frank was born in 1880, so both boys were born before Joshua and Lucretia were married. ]
