Thomas2 appears to have been the eldest child as he deposed aged 38 in 1664 (b. c.1626). It seems he must have immigrated with his family, yet he doesn't appear to have been claimed as a headright in 1636. Perhaps this was a clerical error. 'Josias' could have been copied from the previous name instead of 'Thomas'. He married Sarah, apparently the widow Schrever. Administration of his estate was granted 1 Mar 1676 (Northumberland Co. Orders 1666–78: 131). His widow soon married John Pinkard, but died before 21 Jan 1679/80 when John Pinkard, who had married the widow of Thomas Gascoyne, was sued for custody of the 5 children of Thomas Gascoyne, by John Taylor, Henry Mayes, Josias Gascoyne, and Henry Gascoyne (Northumberland Co. Orders 1678–98: 54).
