Notes: On May 7, 1778, Josiah was named the Sheriff of Rockingham County, and the first jail was erected - but never completed - at a plantation known as Smithland, just north of the City of Harrisonburg.

At one time, he was captured and tried for treason. Another sheriff not only was required to locate and arrest an individual, but following the trial, he was ordered to hang the man, a task he performed from a tree in Harrisonburg.
