Joshua was born bet. 1802-1806, the son of Daniel Seale & Rebecca Crumpton. He married his first cousin, Elizabeth Seale, abt. 1828 in Mississippi.
From "1840 Citizens of Texas, Vol. 1, Land Grants" by Gifford White:
"Joshua Seale arrived in Texas 25 December 1839 and received a Class 3 Conditional Land Grant of 640 acres in Sabine County, Republic of Texas on 28 December 1839. On 28 August, 1843, he was given an Unconditional Grant in Brazos County, Republic of Texas. Abstract #214, Cert. #278: 3rd Class 640 Acres."
Brazos County officials affirmed this certificate and stated that he (Joshua) had resided in Texas and performed the duties of citizenship for three years. This affirmation was signed by James I. Bowman, Clerk of the County Court."
From "Judges of the Republic of Texas", p. 252:
"Joshua Seale was born 1802/1803 in South Carolina. After coming to Texas about 1839, he served as a member of the Frontier Guard, as a Justice of the Peace of Brazos County (1841-1842), and as a County Surveyor of Brazos County
in 1848."
From "Twixt the Brazos and the Navasot", Johnnie Stribling:
"During the Civil War, Joshua Seale rode with Dr. Stewart (John Rawdon Stewart) and others (including Joshua's son-in-law, Rev. Absalom M. Ball) to collect cattle and hogs for the feeding of the Confederate soldiers. But, he was an old man by then and a fall from his horse disabled him severely."
I believe Joshua to be buried in Tryon Cemetery in an unmarked/lost grave. Land records show the family living near the Cemetery at the time of his death.
From "Texas Masonic Deaths":
"Returns of Lodges for the Masonic Year A.D. 1867...Deaths:
Cedar Creek Lodge No. 300, Tryon's Church, Brazos County, Bryan Post Office.....Joshua Seale."
A few years following Joshua's death, his wife Elizabeth moved to Naruna, Burnet County, Texas where she died and is buried.
Joshua was first cousin to Eli Seale, also a prominent early Brazos County settler.
