My name is J.P. Johnson and I'm a descendant of America Stirsman Brown. She was the daughter of Josiah Stearman. And according to information I saw on Ancestry.com, he was the son of William Riley Steerman.

Josiah (or Joseph) was born in Todd Co., Kentucky about 1823. There is a William Steerman in Todd Co. in the 1830 Census.

In the 1820 Logan Co., Kentucky Census (Todd Co. was formed in 1820 from a part of Logan), there is a Foxhall (spelled Foxall) and a Joshua Steerman in Russellville.

Then in the 1810 Green Co., Kentucky Census there is a Foxhall - this is such an unique name that I assume the two Foxhall's are probably the same. Also the Foxhall in 1810 is 26 to 45 while the one in the 1820 is 45 and up.

The 1810 Green Co. Foxhall is listed about 5 lines away from William Stearman. There are two William Stearman's in Green Co. in the 1810, but the one by Foxhall is older, so I assume that is probably William Walker Stearman who served in the Revoluationary War.

Does anyone have information on this Foxhall? Is he William Walker's son? Nephew? And is there any information connecting William Riley Stearman (father of Josiah) to Foxhall?

Also who is this Foxhall? There is a Foxhall Sturman who married Elizabeth Neale in Westmoreland Co., VA in 1810, so I assume it isn't him - unless he married Ms. Neale early in the year and then immediately went to Green Co., Kentucky.

Thank you in advance.
