Josiah Winslow was born in Plymouth Colony about 1628 and died in 1680 in Marshfield, Plymouth Colony.〔Pilgrim Hall Museum Josiah Winslow ''()'' 〕 In records of the time, historians also name him Josias Winslow, and modern writers have carried that name forward. He was born one year after the Charter which founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony, bringing over 20,000 English immigrants to New England in the 1630s.〔Charter of Massachusetts Bay Colony ''()''〕 Josiah was the Harvard College-educated son of ''Mayflower'' passenger and Pilgrim leader Edward Winslow and was Governor from 1673 to 1680. The most significant event during his term in office was King Philip's War, which created great havoc for both the English and Indian populations and changed New England forever. Josiah was the first native born governor of an American Colony.〔Lysander Salmon Richards. ''History of Marshfield'' (Plymouth MA.: Memorial Press, 1905), vol. 3, pp. 32, 46〕 ==Early years== Josiah Winslow's parents were Edward Winslow (d.1655) and his second wife, widow Susannah White. Her first husband had been Pilgrim William White, who died in February 1621, with whom she had sons Resolved and Peregrine White, all of whom were Mayflower passengers.〔''A genealogical profile of William White,'' (a collaboration of Plimoth Plantation and New England Historic Genealogical Society accessed 2013) ''()''〕 The wedding of Edward Winslow and Susannah White was the first in Plymouth Colony.〔Ruth Wilder Sherman, CG, FASG and Robert Moody Sherman, CG, FASG.

''History of Marshfield'' (Plymouth MA.: Memorial Press, 1905), vol. 3, p. 59〕 In 1657 he was chosen assistant governor, a post he filled until he was elected governor in 1673. Also, in 1658 he was Plymouth's commissioner to the United Colonies (a Puritan military alliance against the Indians) until 1672. In 1659 he was appointed military commander of the colony. In 1643, his father, Edward Winslow, was one of six signers of the new Articles of Confederation of the New England colonies and in 1673 Josiah became the first native-born governor of the colony upon the death of Governor Thomas Prence.〔Lysander Salmon Richards.
