1756 Document Signed "Joshua Winslow" Boston for the Committee of War Later "Boston Tea Party" Tea Consignor
JOSHUA WINSLOW (Died, March 20, 1775). Justice of the Peace, British Loyalist, one of the Consignors of the tea involved with the historic "Boston Tea Party," Agent for the Committee of War Office, Boston.
October 1, 1756-Dated French & Indian War Period, Manuscript Document Signed, "Joshua Winslow" for the Committee of War, 6" x 7.5", 1 page, Boston, Very Fine. Being a Signed Paid Receipt where Joshua Winslow has signed for payment of 50 barrels of rum sold to the Board of War, Boston, invoiced through John Osborne. Docket on reverse. Small marginal paper loss at lower left, prior reinforced tape repair on the blank reverse. Justice of the Peace, Boston, 10 August 1764. Document concerning an invoice for "50 Barrells (sic) of Rum" amounting to 1,629 1/4 Gallons! Winslow was a Loyalist later during the outset of the American Revolution. Winslow was one of the consignors of Tea involved with the historic "Boston Tea Party". A scarce French and Indian War military Agent for the Committee of War Office, at Boston signed document.
Joshua Winslow took over his father's place in the family firm in 1767, and in 1773 became one of the Tea Consignees, being one of the merchants designated in London to receive and resell East India Company tea.
He deferred to his colleagues (most of whom were also relatives) and didn't take a prominent role in defying the tea boycott or trying to get the tea landed. He with Richard Clarke and Benjamin Faneuil were hoping to land the tea and make a large profit. Nevertheless, the political confrontation over that tea put Winslow squarely on the side of the royal government.
On 20 Mar 1775, as the Province rolled toward war, Joshua Winslow died.
