    Joshna (Daniel2) died in 1710. There is considerable uncertainty attending the date of his birth, since the ages given in three different depositions would place this event in 1628, 1631 and 1637, respectively. He was a member of the First Church in Salem in 1662, and May 3, 1665, was admitted freeman. In 1689, he and his wife, Sarah Waters, to whom he was married Feb. 26, 1651, were original members of the church in Salem Village. In 1693, he is said to have kept the "Ship Tavern" in Salem. His wife died May 19, 1700, aged 70.
