     Joseph was initially a Grainger in the right timeframe in the right place who happened to have some children with rather distinctive names that caught my fancy so I documented what I found in the hope that there was a connection to Peter.
Subsequent to that, a descendant in Illinois has popped out of the woodwork with an inherited family tree that shows Joseph as brother of Peter's Daniel. I have not verified this, but the few family members I have checked show the dates in the tree to be accurate.7
