carpenter & farmer Magistrate

We found Joshua buried in the Cutchogue Cemetery on Route 25 also called TheOld Burying Ground. Amazingly, Joshua's house is still standing on NewSuffolk Lane just south of Rte. 25. Built in 1686, the year he marriedHannah TUTHILL, it was in continuous use by Joshua's descendants until 1857.At the moment it is empty but the good news is that its new owner intends torestore it. It had a major restoration to the Federal style in 1815 so itdoesn't look that old.
