"LIEUT. JOSHUA, He served in Revolutionary War.
He probably had gone to Sudbury to live, before 1750. He and his brother inherited their fathers part of a valuable farm in Sudbury. The fact that the sons married in Sudbury or towns near, and that they fought in Battle of Lexington, in Sudbury Co.'s, and also died there, proves they had lived there."

"Joshua Haynes. There were three Joshua Hayneses of Sudbury who served in the Rev. War, and it is difficult to distinguish the service of each, as neither the 'Mass. Sol. & Sail. of Rev. War, the entries Sudbury Town Rec., nor Family Rec. make it very clear which was which, but the following seems the most probable solution of the identity of each of the three"
