Josiah R. Greene rem. from Randolph to Royalton in 1843. He was a prudent, industrious man, interested in good schools and all questions of public and national welfare. His father was a courteous and genial gentleman, who cultivated well his farm, and before the time of railroads made many journeys to Boston for the exchange of supplies. He paid poll tax in town three years. Josiah's grandmother Greene's family possessed a martial spirit. Her father, Samuel Greene (b. Shrewsbury, Mass., 1723; d. 1807, Hanover, N. H., where he had lived 25 years), served in the French wars against Canada; was a vol- unteer for two months when the British took New York; volun- teered with 59 others from the county of Worcester, Mass., who mounted their horses and aided in capturing Burgoyne. Her brother Joseph joined the army in 1776 with his brother Zach- ariah; they aided in fortifying Dorchester Heights; entered the city of Boston the day after the departure of the British, and marched to New York and heard the Declaration of Independ- ence read in the Old Park, New York City; helped erect forts at Brooklyn Heights, and were in the battles of Throgg's Point, White Plains, and White Marsh; wounded at White Marsh, Dec. 7, 1777.

811
HISTORY OF ROYALTON, VERMONT
Oct. 16, 1780. He went to the fort at Bethel, which he had helped to build. There is a tradition that he was never seen after that day, but he gave a deed of a lot of his after that date, but further information is lacking. His widow married (2) Gideon Mosher of Sharon, the son of James, son of Hugh. Date of marriage is unknown. When she recorded the birth of her son, Michael, in Sharon, by making her mark, Apr. 25, 1795, she was then Mrs. Mosher. Mr. Mosher's estate was in probate in 1818. Mr. Handy was in Sharon in 1775, and in Norwich in 1776, but as his name cannot be found in Norwich records, it may be he was there in military service. He came to Royalton between 1776 and 1780. In the probate records it is stated that June 21, 1787, the judge appointed Calvin Parkhurst guardian to Robert Handy, son of Michael, which leads one to think that this is a mistake, and that it was Michael, the son of Robert, for whom a guardian was appointed, and that may have been the year of Robert's death. It is understood by the descendants of Mrs. Handy, that she went to Hoosick Falls after the death of Mr. Mosher, and died there, but they do not know whether she was buried there or not. If she was, then they think she must have been buried in the family lot on the David Barnhart farm, near the river. David owned land in Hoosick Falls extending from the Falls bridge half way to Hoosick Four Corners, and the cemetery was taken from his land, and most of the village is on his land, only a small part being retained by his heirs. There was another old burial lot on this farm, from which the bodies were removed in 1859 to the new cemetery, but the record of re- movals shows no proof of the removal of Mrs. Handy-Mosher. An effort has been made to identify her last resting place, that a fitting memorial may be erected over it, but it is doubtful if it is ever positively known. She had no children by Mr. Mosher. His daughter Eda by his first wife, Mary Manchester, married Eber Mosher, the grandmother of Mrs. Ellen Doubleday Fischer and Mrs. Benj. Flint, who always spoke of her as Grandma Hendee, while the descendants of Lucretia called her "Grannie Mosher." See "Burning of Royalton" and "Royalton's Revo- lutionary Roll," Chapter X. Robert was an original grantee of the town. i. Michael, b. Mar. 23, 1773, prob. Sharon. Captured by the Indians, Oct. 16, 1780, and released through the pleading of his mother. Owned land in Sharon, which he sold in 1802. No certain trace of him farther, but is thought to have gone to Hoosick Falls and to have died there.
ii. Lucretia, b. -; d. March, 1854, Sandgate, at the home of her dau., Mrs. Covey. The records of Sandgate were burned. Married David Barnhart, son of David, of Hoosick Falls, N. Y., who d. Feb., 1852, Hoosick Falls, at an advanced age. He was living with his dau., Roxana. His son Joseph lived at home, also, till near the time of the
