Joshua Jacob was a child, who lived from 1807 to 5 Nov 1809, about 2 years.

"Son of Jotham & Grace"
Born in Hingham, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, USA.
A photograph of the marker survives; see it on Find a Grave ↗.
That is most of what the public record yet tells us. Joshua Jacob was a child of this town, not a name on a list, with a life still largely unrecovered. We will not invent the rest. If you are descended from Joshua's family, you can add a source, a correction, or a memory. Until then, their name is kept here, with respect.
The stone is still there.
