Jousha Pilcher, one of the settlers of 1855, was born near Lexington, Ky., Oct. 15, 1832 (1802?). His parents were James and Nancy (Mulligan) Pilcher, natives of Virginia. He emigrated to Vandalia, Ill., in 1821, working there at his trade of a stone mason two years. In 1824 he went to Keosauqua, Van Buren Co., Iowa. He was one of the first settlers on the Des Moines river. In 1839 he entered land at the foot of Horse Shoe Bend, Iowa, and returned to Belleville. In 1840 he came back to Iowa and improved his land, which he sold in 1841. He then went to Burlington, assisting in building the first packing house there. In 1842 he entered land in Jo Daviess Co., Ill., upon which he lived thirteen years. In 1855 he moved to Mitchell county, where he entered land, built a log house and kept a primitive hotel, where the mail coaches stopped, as also the Union soldiers during the war, as they passed from recruiting points. In 1865 he bought 120 acres on section 9, Douglas township, where he lived at the time of his death, April 9, 1881. He was married to Philadelphia Beer, a native of St. Clair Co., Ill., Nov. 17, 1836.
