Josiah was an American Patriot and supporter. He wrote to General George Washington about British troop movements and was a friend of Benjamin Franklin. 〔 Pages 1-17 The life of Josiah Quincy, by Edmund Quincy, Little, Brown and Company Boston 1874 6th Edition 〕
==Life==
He was in business with brother Edmund. He and his father traveled in Europe making contacts and contracts to promote the business. When his firm's ship, ''Bethel'', captured the Spanish ship ''Jesus Maria'' and ''Joseph'' in 1748, he retired from that business and went back to Braintree. He was a local magistrate and a colonel of the Suffolk regiment who made investments. He went to Pennsylvania as a commissioner in 1755 to ask for assistance in a proposed expedition to Crown Point in the French and Indian war. Benjamin Franklin helped him and remained a friend. 〔 Page 594, Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating to the Families of Boston and Eastern Massachusetts, Vol 2, William Richard Cutter, Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1908 Boston〕 In retirement, Franklin invested several businesses in Quincy. Franklin assisted his Quincy and Joseph Palmer in several speculative ventures in glass, candle and chocolate making.〔Page 178, Where American Independence Began: Quincy, Its famous Group of Patriots by Daniel Munro Wilson, Houghton, Miffin 1902 Quincy 〕
