Note: No burial record has been found for Josiah. His birth year is a rough approximation based on the sequencing of his siblings, and his death date comes from his probate settlement.
Josiah was the son of Caleb Arnold and Abigail Wilbur of Newport and Portsmouth, Rhode Island. He did not marry. He is mentioned in the wills of both of his parents, though he is mistakenly called Joseph in his mother's will. He was undoubtedly the Josiah Arnold who administered the estate of Hannah Wilbur, his grandmother, on 9 April 1722. His own will, dated 1 Jan 1757, was proved at Portsmouth 14 Feb 1757, and mentioned his brothers Oliver (deceased) and William (not called deceased, but should have been), Oliver's widow Elizabeth, and his two nieces Hannah Lawton, daughter of brother William, and Abigail Rogers, daughter of brother Oliver.
