He was a descendant of Jonathan Belcher, and his name, which was originally Joshua Henshaw Belcher, was changed by an act of the Pennsylvania legislature in 1845. He became a teacher in Chauncey Hall institute, Boston, in 1833, and from September, 1837, till 1841 was instructor of mathematics in the United States navy.
