I am the G Granddaughter of Josiah M Sidwell and Eliza Ann (Miller) Sidwell
I have been researchingJosiah M. Sidwell, Bornin Pa.Nov- 29-1826Do not know where in Pa. All through the census research and Military records he was listed as Josiah M. Sidwell. After his death he was listed on some of his childrens death certificates as Joseph.So may have been called Joseph in the 1900s.
He died. Oct.23-1900 inWhite Pine, Calhoun Co. West Virginia
According to the census his Father was born inIreland and his Mother born in Pa.Do not know who they are .
He is Listed in 1860 Greene Co. Pa.Census, Living in Rayerson Station, Aleppo township with
wife # 1Rebecca ( Grim )Sidwell along with a Mary age 57 and a HannahDaily age 12..
Rebecca diedMay 1st. 1869.
Josiah enlisted in the Union Army in New Brighton Pa.in 1863He was in the 57th Inf
company K. He was honerably discharged in1865 in Harrisburg Pa .At time of enlistmenthis Mitilary abstract card file has his residenceas Beaver County Pa. I have not been able tolocate him in the census there.

Greene County Pa. with2nd Wife Eliza ann ( Miller )Sidwell . They were Married Jan 31st 1870 In Greene Co. Pa.Elizawas previously married to a John Fisher for about 6 or 8 months.

desperately that someone out there may be able to help me identify theparents of Josiah M. Sidwell or Eliza Ann Miller. All born in Pa.around the 1830's, and early 40s. According to the Pa. census.Theyall resided in Greene Co.Pa. in the 1850,s, 60s and 70s
In 1880 Josiah and family was listed in the census ofSherman district, Calhoun County. West Virginia.
There he died on Oct.23rd 1900 , Eliza died in 1913. Any help in finding information on these peoplewould be greatly appreciated.
Do you reconize any one.
