Joshua Odell, the son of William Odell and Asenath Owings, was born in about 1780 in Maryland. He was later married in Allegany County, Maryland to a woman named Susannah Davis on 1 April 1802. Susannah, who was calculated to have been born in Maryland in 1783, was the daughter of Ebenezer Davis. During this same year, Joshua was listed as being a Sergeant in Captain Nathaniel Cochran's First Battalion of the 11th Regiment of Virginia Militia.
On 20 July 1807, Joshua and Susannah purchased 136 acres of land in Harrison County, Virginia (now within West Virginia) from Joseph and Margaret Tetrick. This land, which was situated at the head of Long Run, cost them $150. Several years later, when the War of 1812 broke out, Joshua fought in the Battle of New Orleans, where he was wounded. After the War, Joshua returned to Harrison County, where he died during the latter part of 1826. His widow, Susannah, was last found on the 1860 census of Harrison County living with their son, John. She was listed as being 77 years of age in this census, and having been born in Maryland.
