Josiah (b. 16 Feb. 1747; d. 26 Dec. 1830) had charge of his father's real estate
for many years. Every year till he was past eighty he used to visit his lands in
Maine, riding over the rough roads alone. He lost a hand by a premature
explosion while superintending the blasting of a passage through the rapids on
the Androscoggin below Lewiston (Dresser's Rips,). He was leading proprietor and
agent of the Pejepscot company. Was Representative to General Court twenty-five
years, and a trustee of Bowdoin College, where a son Josiah graduated in 1811.
Another son Edward graduated at Dartmouth in 1797, inherited much of the
territory about Auburn and Lewiston, and settled in Auburn in 1826. His statue
stands in front of the Edward Little High School.—See Little Genealogy.
