1738 graduated Harvard; 19 Sep 1750 ordained at Spruce Creek parish, Kittery

Josiah's ministry was undistinguished. Family legend has it that his faith was "literal and childlike." It is said that one day, while preaching a sermon, he had a premonition that a shoal of fish was entering the creek nearby; all the men of the congregation went down to the water and were able to make a big catch.

He was known for his rum drinking - about a quart a day. Protestants did not begin to consider drinking a sin and to call for abolition of alcoholic beverages until the early nineteenth century. He died as a result of falling into a creek while walking home in a snowstorm after attending a wedding.
