Joshua Loring (1716-1781)
Commodore in the Royal Navy, formerly of Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts
He built the Loring-Greenough House (see images) in 1760, and it still stands at 12 South Street, Jamaica Plain, Boston. As a Loyalist, he was banished from his native country and his home was taken over by the "ardent patriot" David Stoddard Greenough. Loring settled at Highgate near London where he and his wife died. His wife was the sister of twins and they too had two sets of twins (all boys).
