Normally, I don't do cemetery hunting in November in Massachusetts, it must have been a very warm day. The FindAGrave site for Josiah is: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GScid=1425683&GRid=19553751


Also at the cemetery is their son, Jeremiah Ballard, which I didn't know about until 11/22/09.
