Josias was born about 1653, probably in Massachusetts or Connecticut. He was the son of Josias Furman Sr., who settled in Hempstead (1657) and then Newtown (1664), Queens Co., Long Island, NY.
Josias Jr. received land in Newtown on his father's account in 1679. He married the widow Sarah (Strickland) Roberts about 1680. See her memorial, linked below, for a list of their children.
Although Josias purchased other tracts in Newtown in the 1690s, he is thought to have relocated to Maidenhead, old Burlington Co., NJ, in the 1700-1710 period. This area became part of Hunterdon County when it was formed in 1714, and is now Lawrenceville, Mercer Co. Four of Josias's five children settled in the Maidenhead-Hopewell-Trenton vicinity, as well as his wife/widow.
Note: His memorial is tentatively placed here based on his supposed residence at the time of death. No documentation of burial or a gravestone has been found.
