Joshua "born in Liverpool about a year and 10 weeks before his father was killed" (Jun 20 1644), making his birthdate approximately early April, 1643.¹ The "Hinshaw and Henshaw Families" shows his birthdate as 1642.⁹

"Joshua Hinshaw" [sic] was one of the signers of a petition in Dorchester, Massachusetts, heard at General Court in 1664.¹⁶

He married Elizabeth Sumner^{3,4,6,9,17,18} [Elisabeth Somner^1,10, Mary Elizabeth Sumner^8,12], 1670^{3,4,6,9,17,18}. Elizabeth, eldest daughter of William and Elizabeth (Clement) Somner of Dorchester, New England, was baptized June 27 1652; (William was the son of William Somner of Burcester in the County of Oxford).^{1,10,17,18,19} Elizabeth was a relative of Governor Sumner of Massachusetts.^4,9

A short biographical sketch of Joshua and his brother Daniel was published in the 1860 "Genealogical Dictionary of First Settlers of New England" [edited here only to eliminate abbreviations]:^21,22
