Joshua was the son of Joshua How (d. 1760) and his wife Elisabeth Judd. He married, October 14, 1756, Mariam Blakesley (1735-1813) by whom he had 10 children (5 sons and 5 daughters): David (1757-1814), Elisabeth (1759-1759), Asa (1760-1844), Samuel (1762-1844), Elisabeth (1767-1767), Eunice (1769-1825), Joshua (1771-1851), Ruth (1774-1846), Joseph (1776-1836), and Meriam.
On May 5, 1777, Joshua enlisted as a Private, for the Duration of the War, in Captain Thomas Wooster's Company, Colonel Samuel Blatchly Webb's (General George Washington's former aid-de-camp) additional Regiment of the Continental Line. When Joshua enlisted, Colonel S. B. Webb's Regiment was in camp at Peekskill, New York on the east side of the Hudson River. On the advance of the British under Sir Henry Clinton and the loss of Forts Clinton and Montgomery in October 1777, Colonel S. B. Webb's Regiment crossed to the west side of the Hudson and served there for a time.
On Decmeber 10, 1777, Colonel S. B. Webb's Regiment engaged with other troops in an expedition against Long Island at which the Regiment suffered. Colonel S. B. Webb and other Officers of the Regiment, including Ensign Jehosaphat Starr of Captain Wooster's Company, were taken prisoner. Following the Long Island engagement, the Regiment returned up the Hudson and wintered at West Point where they assisted in the construction of the permanent works there. In the summer of 1778, the Regiment, then under the command of Lieutenant Colonel William S. Livingston, marched to Rhode Island where it fought, on August 29, 1778, a well-sustained battle, being commended for its conduct.
The Regiment wintered in Rhode Island, 1778-1779, and remained there until the fall of 1779 when it marched to it's winter quarters for 1779-1780 at Morristown, New Jersey. The Regiment was present at the Battle of Springfield, New Jersey, June 23, 1780. On that same day, the Regiment became designated the 9th Regiment of the Connecticut Continental Line. During the summer of 1780, the Regiment served with the main Army on the Hudson. The Regiment went into winter quarters, 1780-1781, with the Connecticut Division at camp "Connecticut Village" above the Robinson House just "back of Constitution Island" opposite West Point. There the Regiment was re-organized for the formation of 1781-1783.
On January 1, 1781, a new arrangement "establishment" of the Connecticut Line for 1781-1783 went into effect. The non-commissioned officers and privates of the late 2nd and 9th Connecticut Regiments became the 3rd Regiment of the Connecticut Continental Line commanded by Colonel Samuel Blatchly Webb, the former British Prisoner who had just then been exchanged. Joshua served in Captain Elisha Hopkins' Company, Colonel S. B. Webb's 3rd Connecticut Regiment in the 1781-1783 "establishment"
On June 20, 1781, the Connecticut Line marched to Peekskill. From Peekskill the Troops moved in July down nearer New York City and took position at Phillipsburg above Dobb's Ferry poised either to attack New York or march upon the British in Virginia. On August 19, 1781, General Washington accepted the alternate plan and began the movement southward into Virginia leaving the remainder of his Army to hold the Highlands on the Hudson. Most of the Connecticut Line Companies (26 out of 36 Companies), including Captain Hopkins' Company, remained with the "North" Army. The force left in the Highlands, during Washington's absence in Virginia, had little to do beyond guarding the outposts against predatory parties sent out from New York. Washington's Troops returned to the Hudson from Virginia about December 1, 1781. In the meantime, the Connecticut Division re-occupied camp "Connecticut Village" of the previous winter, back of Constitution Island, for it's winter quarters, 1781-1782.
In late July 1782 (July 21st to the 1st of August), Joshua was absent from Captain Hopkins' Company as a 1st Connecticut Brigade Waggoneer with a waggon at Hardsickburgh. On August 31, 1782, General Washington moved all the Troops, which were still in their winter quarters or vicinity, further down the river and formed a grand encampment at Verplanck's Point. The movement was made by water in boats and barges.
On October 28, 1782, the Army broke up camp at Verplanck's Point and crossed to Newburgh further up the river, marching around by way of West Point. At Newburgh the troops separted to go into winter quarters for the last time during the war. The Connecticut Line marched to West Point and vicinity early in November. On January 1, 1783, the five Regiments of the Connecticut Line were reduced to three. Colonel Samuel B. Webb continued in command of the 3rd Connecticut Regiment until the end of the war.
In early summer, 1783, as the war was now over, General Washington ordered the greater portion of the Troops of the Army to disban before the middle of June. A few Regiments were retained to serve at West Point until the close of the year. The 3rd Connecticut Regiment was the one Connecticut Regiment retained. The retained regiment was formed of all those men who had enlisted for short terms or definate periods. The men enlisted "for the war" were granted furloughs and later in the season declared to be discharged. Joshua was discharged, November 3, 1783.
Joshua and his family moved from Wallingsford, New Haven County, Connecticut to Wells, Rutland County, Vermont in 1783, where he built the first grist mill in Town. He died in Wells, January 15, 1800.
