It appears that Capt. Joshua and his wife were with their son Simeon in Vernon, Oneida Co. NY in 1820, where the household includes both a male over 45 and a female over 45.

According to a note dated 4 Apr 1822 by his brother Ebenezer in the probate file of their sister Abigail (Cobb) Pearl in Burlington VT, he, Ebenezer, was the only surviving brother. Thus it appears Joshua died between 1820 and 1822, probably in Oneida Co. NY.
