He married Margaret Berry.[1] They were the parents of Nancy, Vienna and Sarah.
Josiah died at the age of about 31 in 1860 in Missouri.
Research Notes
King's book names the daughters though none are in the home in 1860. Since Levi had girls with the same names, this may be a mistake from the book. His wife had a previous marriage to Richard Blackwell.[2]
