Notes for Joshua PUSEY
Page 223 [THE FRIEND - Volume 29, Page 413]
"Joshua PUSEY, the son of William and Elizabeth Pusey, was born
in the township and county of Chester, in the Province of Pennsylvania,
Eleventh month 9th, 1714.
Mary Pusey, the daughter of Ellis and Elizabeth Lewis, was born
in Concord, in the same county aforesaid, First month 6th, 1716.
Joshua Pusey and Mary Lewis were married in the year 1734, and
having settled in London grove, became members of that meeting. "As it
was the care and concern of their parents to instruct them, when young, in the
way of piety and virtue, as they grew in years, they were preserved, through Divine favour, in the Truth, and by faithfulness, they witnessed a growth therein, and became serviceable in many respects. Their dispositions being hospitable, they kindly entertained their Friends and others, were diligent in attending our religious meetings, and good examples in humble waiting therein; Joshua was not only serviceable to the church, but to the public, being often concerned to restore peace among neighbors, and to put an end to personal differences. Which endeavors were at times blessed with success. He was chosen an elder in the year 1756, and Mary, clerk of the Monthly Meeting about the year 1747, in which stations they continued until death."
Mary was taken ill with intermittent fever, early in the Eight month,
1760, and Joshua was seized with the same disorder five or six days
afterwards. The disorder was heavy upon him, and he died on the 16th of the month, his wife lingering until the 22nd.
Their memorial thus concludes, ---"May the Lord raise up and qualify
such, who may fill the places of the many worthies removed from works to
rewards, that Faith may prosper, and his great Name be thereby glorified, who is
worthy forever."
