Another thing - his name does not add up. Each generation of Angell's are full of William's, Thomas's, John's, Henry's. Never a Josiah. My father was a William and so was my grandfather, then a John, and a Henry. No Josiah's. So, yes, this name was either made up or someone mis-read it from an old document which can be easy to do.
