The family were farmers in Darke County, Ohio. Joseph was the second on 9 children born to the couple. His younger sister, Rachel, is Walt&#8217;s 2nd great grandmother on the Hoel side of the family. I wrote about Sarah in this <a href=\"https:\/\/therabbithoel.com\/?p=3085\">post<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joseph married Lydia Catherine Pittsenbargen on May 24, 1842. They were married in Clinton County, Indiana. The family lived in Indiana, but their first child, William was born in Darke County, Ohio. They later moved to Ohio, around 1850.  They went on to have at least 7 other children. Lydia died on June 20, 1858 in Ohio. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"118\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/therabbithoel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Joseph-and-Francis.png?resize=160%2C118&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4437\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joseph then married Frances Sina Shaffer on March 3, 1859.
