"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 Londongrove, 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 neighbours, and to put an
end to personal differences.  Which endeavours 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 glori-
fied, who is worthy forever."
