"Dr. Josiah Sturtevant of Plymouth and Halifax (1720-1775) had been a man of prominence and wealth in pre-revolutionary Massachusetts. A surgeon, lawyer, justice of the peace, deputy sheriff, and a captain of Provinchal troops. He begat eighteen children by his two wives - Priscilla Croade and Lois Foster (widow). Throughout the increasing tension with English rule, Josiah remained uncompromisingly loyalist, despite the patriot stand of his brothers and most others of his clan and the majority of his neighbors. For this, he suffered increasing persecutions. At the outbreak of hostilities he galloped from Hakifax to Boston during the nights of April 19 and 20, 1775, so closely pursued that he lost his saddle bags in the chase. There he was confirmed in his Captains commission by the British Commander, Gage, and put in charge of a military hospital, in which he contracted small pox and died Aug 18, 1775.
He was buried in the crypt of the Old South Church, at Boston, Mass. Much of Dr Josiah`s estate was confiscated, including 1488 acres of land he had in the Hartland- Woodstock areas of the New Hampshire grants. Aided by relatives his widow and younger children had a most difficult time in Plymouth County for the next decade. In the fall of 1788 widow Lois Sturtevant remarried in Halifax. She married Sam Savery of Wareham and soon after they moved to Woodstock, Vermont
On the death of her husband Josiah she wrote: "August 18th, 1775 my dear husband departed life. He was in his Fifty-fifth year. At Boston whither he was driven by a mad and deluded mob for no other offence but his loyalty to his Sovereign - God forgive them and grant that his death may be sanctified to me and all the children for our souls everlasting good."
She is buried in Windsor, Vermont - the stone inscription:
"widow Lois Savery died Feby 20, 1815 ae 79 yrs. formerly the widow of Doct. Josiah Sturtevant - Halifax County of Plymouth. Mass"

The "History of Carver, Massachusetts-Historical Review 1637-1910" by Henry S. Griffith lists Noah with men "whose service was limisted to the march to Marshfield." This source explains that "nearly two hundred fellow patriots of Plympton" were on their way to Marshfield at the same time, and for the same purpose as the patriots in Lexington and Concord in their first engagement of the American Revolution.
