That puts your family tree in better perspective!

And when you mention Joash Stutzman Sr and Jr, you connect to another
line of my cousins. The mother of Joash Sr was Sarah Yoder, daughter of
Bishop Jonathan Yoder of PA and Danvers, Ill., and therefore the sister
of my great-grandfather Elias Yoder of Dry Grove Township.
There are number of references to Joash Sr in the N. Danvers church
history book as well as one amusing anecdote abut Joash Jr.
