Description
-
This narrative of Josua's life was written by another brother or sister. Josua was born in Africa, taken prisoner, and sold as a slave. He ended up in New York and he worked with a brother of the Brethren in Long Island. In 1749, he moved to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where he joined the Single Brothers' House. He was then baptized. He was always grateful, thankful, faithful, and obedient. He died of the pox in 1761.
