Josiah Perry, s/o John Perry and Sarah Clary, b. 28 Nov 1684, d. Worcester 16 Sep 1767, m. (1) Bethia --- ["mother of his chil."], m. (2) Elizabeth ---.
- While recognizing that Josiah married an Elizabeth and that he lived until 1767, Bond gives his wife Elizabeth and also his third wife to his son. Records appear to show that his son is married to Hannah in 1740, who outlives him, and is living in Sturbridge. In any event, the first is clearly Josiah Sr. based on the age of the wife, the second based on the wife getting dismissed to Worcester, to where Josiah Sr. moved and ended up dying, not Sturbridge, to where Josiah Jr. lived and ended up dying. The dates of both marriages follow at such appropriate spacing after the deaths of Josiah Sr.'s previous wives that it no other arrangement makes sense. Also, the date of the marriage to Sarah Stowell is a year and a half after her husband, Samuel Stowell, died, yet Bond appears to insert a fictitious daughter Sarah (he shows no birth date, and puts a question mark by her name) to account for the marriage he thinks is to the younger Josiah.
