Joshua Hahn's parents were Johannes Hahn (anglicized as John) and his first wife, Elisabetha Margaretha Forster. His mother died while he was still very young and his father married Agnes Langlin in July 1757. The family left Pennsylvania for North Carolina about 1765.

Joshua and his older brother, Benedict, were among the North Carolina militiamen who fought at the Battle of Kings Mountain during the American Revolutionary War, according to Charles J. Preslar in his 1954 𝘈 𝘏π˜ͺ𝘴𝘡𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘒𝘡𝘒𝘸𝘣𝘒 𝘊𝘰𝘢𝘯𝘡𝘺 [North Carolina].

Joshua's eldest children were born about 1780, so it is assumed he had married by that time. He and his family left North Carolina for the Cape Girardeau District of Upper Louisiana (now Missouri) around 1804. Joshua died there about February 1805 and his widow, Eva, served as administrator of his estate along with their eldest son, Abraham. The final settlement named 10 heirs, presumed to be in birth order:
 1. Catharine, wife of Henry Bollinger, son of John
 2. Polly, wife of William Bollinger
 3. Abraham
 4. Mary, wife of John Yount
 5. Joshua
 6. Sarah, wife of Aaron Bollinger
 7. John
 8. Susannah, wife of Henry Bollinger, son of Matthias
 9. Christian
