• Notes

  Josiah is recorded in the 1850 census where his name appears clearly as "Jonah Pringle." Family records indicate that his name was "Josiah Proughlie". "Jonah" and "Josiah" would appear very similar when written by hand. "Proughlie" could easily be a miss-reading of "Pranghlie" or a variant of Prangley Jonah/Josiah's birth record in England has not been identified. He has not been found in any other census records. His children are all found in 1860 living separately with maternal relatives, so it is presumed that Jonah/Josiah and his wife died sometime between 1855-1860 leaving their three children orphaned.
