Raynsford, a native of Windham County, CT, moved to Bridgewater Township in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania (which later became Montrose). Joshua was manager of the Bridgewater and Wilkesbarre Turnpike Road Co.; his father Joseph Raynsford later joined him in Pennsylvania. This family's story is recorded in the Blackman book. The Appendix contains a very interesting article about Joseph Smith with recorded testimony of several residents of Susquehanna County who knew Smith during the years he was supposedly "translating" the tablets into the Book of Mormon, including a long statement from his father-in-law Isaac Hale. The gist of these statements generally identifies Joseph Smith as a charlatan from his "peeping" days locating buried treasure with the aid of a magic "seeing Stone" in his hat to the perpetration of the Book of Mormon. ; Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item.
