"He remained on the Hingham homestead, where his father had lived before removing to Hull ... He died February 14, 1712-13." Will dated 26 Jul 1712, proved 7 Mar 1712/13, mentions wife, deceased son Josiah, son Job, daughter Jane Gifford and her son Josiah, son Jonathan.
↑ From Great Migration article: father received grant of land 18 Sep 1635 in Hingham, removed to Hull 1646. Baptism given Josiah in the Loring Genealogy, p. 19, belongs to his brother Isaac. Based on marriage by 1663, expect born by about 1642 at latest, so allowing for the two Isaacs in early 1639 and early 1642, 1636-1637 seems the most likely time for his birth.
