  • Notes 
    • A Josiah Nottage constructed the Charles River Bridge between Boston and Cambridge in the 1790s. He also built in 1795 a bridge in Newark, NJ, across the Passaic River. He was considered "the country's premier bridge builder." (source: Google books)

      Apparently he knew John Hancock:
      Hancock, John, 1732-1793. A.D.s.; Boston, 15 Feb 1785. 1s.(1p.)
      Order for rations for Josias Nottage.
