JOSIAH6 FIFIELD (841) (Samuel5, Edward4, Edward3, Benjamin2, William1) was born on 10 Oct 1763 in East Kingston, provincial N.H. He was christened on 22 Apr 1764 in East Kingston, provincial N.H (2nd Church of Christ, record at NH Historical, Church records.). He married Miriam (--?--) (4831) say 1785. He died on 12 Jun 1807 in Poultney, Rutland, Vermont, at age 43 (Bible information, 1828 bible of Nancy Fifield, Poultney VT; copy of pages supplied by David Smith.). His estate was probated on 27 Jul 1807 in Fair Haven, Rutland, Vermont (Probate Fairhaven, Rutland, VT; book 6 pages 256ff. These records end with a further reference to book 7 page 124, but book 7 was one of several destroyed by fire.); Widow Mirriam and Samuel Fifield jointly posted bond of $10,000 for Mirriam to be administrator. The estate was appraised by John How, Esq; Major Asahel Pond & Calvin Tuttle. The inventory showed 119 1/2 acres of land, house, barn, cattle etc for a total value of $1608.01.
Much of the family of Josiah is assumed from entries in the Bible of Nancy Fifield of Poultney, VT which contains only five death records ( Jamuary/April 2006, Vol. 23 #1-2 page 11.). He appeared on the census of 1800 in Poultney, Rutland, Vermont (Heads of Families at the Second Census of the United States taken in the year 1800 Poultney, Rutland, Vt 4 Aug. 1800 The National Archives.); Poultney VT census records indicate several children for Josiah, both male and female. Three sons born 1790-1800 and two daughters, one born 1785-1790 and one born 1790-1800, appear likely.

Children of Josiah6 Fifield (841) and Miriam (--?--) (4831) were as follows:
