Joshua CURLE^{[1, 2, 3]}

1641 - 1681  (40 years)

• Name	Joshua CURLE
  Birth	c. Jan 1640/41	England   [1]
  	The estimate for this birth date has been determined by utilizing the "usual" practice by 17th century Anglicans of having infants baptized the first or second Sunday following their birth. There were, of course, exceptions to this practice.
  Baptism	24 Jan 1640/41	St. Michael's Parish, Lewes, Sussex, England   [1]
  	"Joshua Curle, s. of Nicholas" was baptized on 24 January 1640/1 by the Anglican priest of St. Michael's Parish Church in Lewes, Sussex County, England.
  Gender	Male
  Occupation	Lewes, Sussex, England   [4]
  	Joshua followed in his father's footsteps, making his living as a haberdasher.
  OFFH	1669 - 1679	Lewes, Sussex, England   [5]
  	Joshua served as one of the two town Constables for the Borough of Lewes in 1669 and in 1670. He was chosen on 5 October 1674, on 2 Oct 1676 and again on 6 October 1679 as one of "the Twelve", the town's governing body.
  Death	late Jul 1681
  	It is ironic to note that Joshua outlived his mother, Judith, by not quite three years. Judith's will had coerced three of her four other living sons, Thomas, Samuel and Pasco, to give up their inheritances from their father, Nicholas, and their brother, John, in favor of Joshua. Joshua died during late July 1681.
