1.5.5.4.2 Joshua BLUE (b.ca1801), m.1831 Maria CHAPMAN (b.1810/20). They were
married in Washington Co. MD and, in their early years, lived in Jefferson Co.
VA where their first child was born. Before James was born ca1835, Joshua and
his family had moved to OH and they were living in Fairfield Twp., Butler Co. OH
in 1840. In that year the census implies that he had three sons, one under 5 and
two 5/10 years, and one daughter under 5 years. He appears to have died in the
1840's, for his children are living separately with various families in 1850. A
letter written by son John indicates that his mother was in Lafayette,
Tippecanoe Co. IN and Delphi, Carroll Co. IN during the Civil War. Joshua is a
rare name in the Blue family. This Joshua was probably named for his uncle,
Joshua YERKES, or his grandfather who was also Joshua YERKES.

She was born in (probably) Jefferson Co. VA and he in Frederick Co. VA. They
were married in Frederick Co. VA by minister Thomas Littleton. They both died on
the home farm, Rock Hall, about two miles toward Winchester from Berryville,
Clarke Co. VA. They are buried in a family plot on the home farm. Bennett was a
son of John and Ann (WASON) RUSSELL. Bennett was a large landholder in Clarke
Co. The home farm contained 380 acres and was bequeathed to son Bennett upon the
elder Bennett's death. Son John Wm. received the 300 acre "North End" farm.
Jesse received the "Greenville" farm (size unstated in the will) and Thomas
received the 200 acre "Vineyard" farm. The "Janney" farm was to be sold. The
"Bowles" property containing 278 acres was left to Bennett's brother James to
use until his death. He also directed that his heirs and executors, "three years
from my death", to pay "John Blue's indebtedness to me ....". This John was
undoubtedly Mary's brother.
