    Notes:

    This marriage record is confusing because the marriage intention says John Nottage. Also, there seems to be no distinction between Josias and his father. The marriage to Mary could have been a fourth marriage for Josias Sr.

    Josias married Mary Dennett 27 Oct 1799, Boston, MA. [Group Sheet]
