Biography

Josiah's birth is difficult to estimate; the earliest documentation is his marriage to Hannah Moulton in 1681.[1] She died in November 1687,[2] and Josiah married Sarah, widow of Jonathan Perkins.[3]

He was active in civic affairs, including surveying, common pasture maintenance, and was a representative to the General Court in 1695.[4]

As an entrepeneur, Josiah was a member of a company formed to operate a sawmill on the Little River. They ran afoul of the town's rules and were ordered to desist, but an agreement was eventually reached. The mill operated for over 200 years.[5]

Josiah died sometime between the making of his will in March of 1727 and it being proved April 6, 1728.[6]

Hi-- Hannah Moulton married Josiah in 1681, and gave birth to William, Hannah, and Sarah. After she died in 1687, Josiah married Sarah, the widow of Jonathan Perkins, in 1690, and they had the remaining children: Jabez, Keziah, Rachel, Jonathan, Abner and Richard. I don't know about Reuben. If you wish, I can separate these out on their various profiles i.e. get the right mothers with the right children. (I just adopted the orphaned profiles of both wives/ mothers.) Otherwise, hope this is of some help. --LS
