I am profile manager of two Joshua Creels Joshua Creel and Joshua Creel.

I am currently attempting to prove to myself that there was only one Joshua Creel - please be patient with me and supply me with sources to help! I know I have seen a very good writeup in a book at the Pascagoula Library, but I can't find where I recorded it. Will not be back there till fall, so this situation will take some time to resolve.
