5. U.S. Census Records for Josiah Drake
I:
1790: No record found.
1800: No record found.
6. Other biographical notes on Josiah
Drake I:
a. Perhaps named for his maternal
grandfather, Josiah Barber.
b. On 22 December 1757 purchased seventy acres of land in Stafford
Township, Tolland County, Connecticut (abt 20 miles NE of Windsor). Shortly after, on 29 December 1757, Josiah
sold his land and house in Windsor Township, also one-half interest in a saw
mill and grist mill, called Drake's Mill, on the Hockanum
River. Resided in
Stafford Township, Connecticut for a number of years. Of interest, a Josiah Drake (probably Josiah, Jr.) of Stafford, Connecticut
stated he was of "the Baptist Church, at Stafford, under the care of Noah
Alden" and prayed in May 1767 to be exempted from taxes for his support of
the established ministry.
c. About 1774 probably accompanied his
son, Josiah Drake, Jr., to
Buckland Township, Franklin County, Massachusetts (straight up the CT River and
about 15 miles west of Greenfield, Franklin County, Connecticut). Was the "Deacon Drake" whose death
at age 97 was entered in the records of the Congregational Church at Ashfield
Township, Franklin County, Massachusetts.
d. Religious intolerance may be part of the reason Josiah I moved north and west. He appears to have shared similar Baptist
beliefs as his brother, Nathaniel, Jr. and Nathaniel Jr.'s
sons: Nathaniel III, Shubael, and Simeon.
