WINSLOW, Joshua, British soldier, born in Boston, Massachusetts, 23 January, 1727; died in Quebec in 1801. He served with distinction in the capture of Louis-burg in 1745, and was commissary-general in the expedition to Acadia in 1755. His diary of the expedition to Nova Scotia in 1750 is to appear in Holton's " Genealogy of John Winslow's Descendants." At the beginning of the Revolution he removed to Halifax, became paymaster-general of the British forces in North America, and subsequently resided in Quebec. His widow returned to the United States, and died at Medford, Massachusetts, 16 April, 1816. Two portraits, by John S. Copley, of General Winslow (one taken in 1755, in the undress uniform of a British officer) are now in the possession of J. F. Trott, Esq., of Niagara Falls. The journal of his daughter, Anna Green, born 29 November, 1759; died in 1779, during 1771-'3, in Boston, is a curiosity in its description of the customs and doings of that day. Most of it appeared in the "Bulletin of Pilgrim Record," Nos. 3, 4, and 5 (1877).
