  • Notes 
    • It appears that Josiah's first marriage ended unhappily. Newspaper published in The Boston News-Letter, MA, January 11 1728:
      "Whereas Elizabeth NOTTAGE, the wife of Josias NOTTAGE of Boston, Housewright, hath brought disgrace upon her husband, which hath occasion'd very unhappy differences between them, and upon which she has eloped from her said husband. These are therefore to desire all persons not to trust her with money or goods, for he shall not pay any such debts." (source: www.newspaperabstracts.com/)

      Josias Nottage was admitted a member of the OId South Church, Boston, MA, 24 Feb 1744/45.

      Josiah Nottage is listed in the following census dated July 1752: "A list of the Families of English, Swiss, etc. which have been settled in Nova Scotia since the year 1749, and who now are settlers in the places hereafter mentioned." Josiah is named as a family head in the South Suburbs, Halifax, Nova Scotia. The household consists of 3 males above age 16, 1 female above age 16, and 2 females under age 16, for a total of 6 individuals. This suggests that Josiah, his wife, 2 sons (>16) and 2 daughters(<16) were living there.

      Josiah went from Boston to Halifax after the British conquered Canda. They returned between 1763 and 1765, either after Josiah's death, possibly related to a house fire, or after the fire.
