HI. We're the Joshua branch from Fayetteville, NC. The first was there from 1797
that we are sure of. I think Marvin has a lot more info. There was a Joshua in
Fayetteville up until my grandfather's generation. The last Josh had only one
daughter.
As for Overtons....we recently found out that we were changed from Howerton between the
mid-18th and mid-19th centuries. So......I doubt there is a connection. All the
"true" Virginia Overtons have been in Virginia since the first immigrant.
There is a great book on the Overtons out--"The Overtons: 700 Years" by Nan
Overton West.
Stay in touch. I'm sure we ARE connected through the Carmans/Carmons.
