Patty-I am very happy to hear from you,as there are so many Boss' located today in the Washington Co. area of Rhode Island. I would be happy to communicate with you as I do have info on the family, & Joshua had his sister, Renewed take care of his home in Westerly. I am sure that all the Boss family members are related. I just can't find out who Joshua's parents were. I know the family were living around the whole area. I am in hopes of going to the Newport area soon, as I have family there (Hubbard). I do have some info that have received but most all the info is on my desktop that needs to be checked out as it is down at this moment. You can reach me at jan12739@earthlink.net. Please do let me know when you read this. Your Boss family member could be related, brother perhaps or cousin. What do you know about your Boss family, & where do you live? Hope to hear from you.
