Individual Details
Josiah Arnold
(8 Oct 1716 - 23 Mar 1747/48)
Josiah married Amey Phillips, 20 Jul 1738, Smithfield. She is thought to have married Gideon Comstock after the death of Josiah in 1749.
Amey was appointed to administer Josiah's estate 25 Apr 1748. The inventory stated he was a merchant and included 54 gallons of molasses sent to Boston, and shares in various vessels: 1/32 each of the brigantines "Warsuat" and "Hannah" and 3/16 of the sloop "Success". Josiah's older half-brother, Thomas Arnold, was appointed administrator of the estate on 10 May 1749, shortly before Amey remarried.
