Alternative birth year 1710
Josiah was a caulker by trade. [A caulker literally caulked ships, and Kittery was a ship building town]. He married with intentions given on 20 December 1740 [Vital Records of Kittery, Maine To the Year 1892, ed. Joseph C. Anderson II and Lois Ware Thurston (Camden, Me.: Picton Press, 1991), hereinafter Kittery VRS, p. 103] to Mary HIDDEN, the daughter of John Hidden baptized 22 May 1720 at Kittery [NEHGR 151:224]. Josiah has six children baptized in Kittery between 1741 and 1763. There are no grantee deeds for Josiah at York County. He must be living at Kittery in the 1790 census, but his name is mis-indexed as Josiah Brier. It can established by triangulating his neighbors in the census with those in his only deed. He clearly describes his land as abutting Samuel Smallcorn and then Elihu Weeks. Those are the two preceding names to Josiah Brier in the census. The household of Josiah "Brier" consisted of two males over 16 and three females.
On 10 June 1791, Josiah, caulker of Kittery sold to William Berry, mariner of Kittery his land in Kittery for life support. No wife is mentioned (although she was alive). His lot in Kittery Point is clearly described and Josiah takes care to give the land to William and his heirs and no other of Josiah heirs. [York County Deeds 54:130--is this just legal boilerplate or proof that Josiah indeed had other heirs?]. This deed is recorded on 7 December 1791. Josiah died in December 1791 according to his probate papers [York County Probate #1070]. On 21 May 1792, Mary Berry, widow declines administration of the estate due to old age and infirmity. William Berry, mariner acts as administrator. The estate is valued at £17-1-7 and costs were evaluated conveniently enough at £17-1-7 including £5-14-10 to the widow on 16 September 1793. [John Eldridge Frost, Maine Probate Abstracts 1775-1800, Volume 2 (Camden, Me.: Picton Press, 1991), pp. 1021, 1054, although only page 1021 is indexed for Josiah. Abstracts for this family poor and don't include the widow's name Mary or Josiah's death date, both of which are given in the original records. (M. Hollick)
