Deane mentions in his appendix V. on pg 405 that he 'discovered animportant error" concerning the gunpowder incident , and recounts thestory of Lt. James and the gunpowder in 1665.
He doesn't correct the date of death for Josiah, however.
Pratt points out the errors in his work on pg 322 but offers no otherdetails on Joshiah's death, other than he "was not blown up by the town'sgunpowder". pg 324
