HOSLEY, James of Townshend. The most prominent and influential among "the old heads" during the revolutionary war, and the best balanced man, in all respects, was James Hosley, who was born in this town, in 1734. On his arrival at manhood, he held all the offices in the gift of his fellow-citizens, although he was never a demagogue or office seeker. The church recognized his amiable and worthy character, by electing him deacon. In 1766, he was first chosen to serve on the board of selectmen, consisting of five members, all capable and enterprising men. From 1770 to 1781, he was either moderator, town clerk, one of the selectmen, or on a war committee, every year. In 1775, he was moderator at the annual town meeting, town clerk, chairman of the selectmen, and captain of the alarm list or minute-men. In 1776, when Brigadier-General Oliver Prescott reorganized the Middlesex county militia, the officers for this town were: James Hosley, captain; Peter Butterfield , first lieutenant; Benjamin Ball, second lieutenant.

In September, 1777, the General Court passed a resolve calling for volunteers to go to the assistance of General Gates, who was confronting Burgoyne, at Saratoga. This call received an enthusiastic response from the men of old Middlesex county. Seventy men, forming one company, belonging to Pepperell, Townsend and Ashby, were soon in readiness to march. On assembling for the choice of officers, James Hosley was unanimously chosen captain. By reference to the revolutionary rolls, copied in this work, it well be seen that Col. William Prescott, and other military men of ability and notoriety, were in Captain Hosley 's company. The estimation in which he was held as a military man, can be better understood from this position, tendered to him so unexpectedly, than in any other way. Prescott and Wood, or Major Stone, would never have been subordinate to any man unless he honored the office to which he had been elevated.

He was chosen representative to the General Court, in 1787, but he declined the office, and Daniel Adams was chosen to fill that position. He was a modest man, never dictatorial, courteous and obliging in his intercourse with his townsmen and neighbors. There is no record of his death to be found, either in any well-read old family bible or on any tombstone. Time has swept into the abyss of forgetfulness, those manly forms and brave hearts, which dared to stand up against great odds and assert their freedom, but let the sons of Townsend, in all coming time, with fervent gratitude, remember James Hosley and his compatriots.
