The cemetery reading gives his name as "Issiah" but I found no other record of anyone with that name. There is a "Josiah" Abrahams of the right age appearing in three different Census records in the area.
In 1850, he is 54 years old, living in Greene County with Jane, 49; George, 19; Sophia, 15; and Margaret, 9. In the 1860 Scott County Census, he is living with James and Sophia (Abraham) Dinwiddie, who were probably his daughter and son-in-law. In the 1870 Morgan County Census, "Josiah" Abrahams is living in Jacksonville with Jane, who was 69, and appears to be the same woman from the 1850 Census. In 1850 he is listed as "Saddler" and in 1870 as a "Harness Maker".
