Research Notes

Since Josiah had a son Josiah, it is difficult to know which Josiah is being referenced in each of these American Revolution items. :

  • Josiah was a Private, serving with Captain Wilcox's Company in the American Revolution War on 21 February 1778, having served 3 years. His residence was listed as Windham. [8]
  • Based on the SAR submission of his gggg grandson, Josiah was a Private soldier in Col Hinman's Company from Apr-May 1775. He was taken prisoner near Montreal in 1775 with Ethan Allen's party at the battle of Ticonderoga and died later of Camp Fever.[2][9] DAR also gives him credit for service in Col. Hinman's Regiment. See his DAR Ancestor # A094571.[10]
