MAPLES, Josiah, East Aurora Cem East Aurora NY 33 Abstract of Graves of
Revolutionary Patriots, Vol.3, p. Serial: 9787; Volume: 5
Source: pp. 160, 652, 687, 753, 759, History & Directory of Yates Co., NY
The information on the family of Josiah Maples is somewhat spotty and confusing. It should be confirmed through other sources.
On p. 160, the History states in the chapter on the Town of Barrington: "Isaac H. Maples was another settler of the same date on lot 20. His youngest son, Josiah, who married Jane Coykendall, lives on the place his father redeemed from the wilderness."
On p. 652, the History states that "Silas Hunt, Jr. born in 1793, married Nancy, daughter of the Deacon Isaac Maples of Milo."
On p. 687, the History states that Josiah Maples was a brother-in-law of Isaac Hedges who was born in Madison, New Jersey in 1794, so one could assume that Josiah's wife was a Miss ______ Hedges. Isaac Hedges and "his brother-in-law, Josiah Maples, bought the whole of lot 27 [in the Town of Milo, Yates Co.], he taking the north part . . . The Maples family subsequently emigrated to Erie Co. [NY], except a son Isaac, now a resident of Barrington, and a daughter Nancy, who maried Silas Hunt, Jr."
On p. 753, it states that Josiah Maples and his brother-in-law Isaac Hedges were among the first members of the Second Milo Baptist Church.

Church Histories
BAPTIST church. This church is one of the oldest in the county. May 20, 1795, a few scattered individuals of the Baptist denomination in this region held a conference-meeting in a school-house, at which Rev. James BACON was chosen moderator and John BOSTWICK clerk. This conference met several times until Aug. 19, 1795, when the church was organized, and consisted of twelve members. The first pastor was John BOSTWICK, who commenced his labors immediately after the organization of the church. He was soon after ordained, and served the church for a period of thirty years. The first deacon was Josiah MAPLES. In 1809 Zilba NEWLAND was chosen deacon.
