Josiah Flint Willard (November 17, 1805 - January 24, 1868) was an American dairy farmer, naturalist and businessman living in Janesville, Wisconsin, who served one term as a Free Soiler member of the Wisconsin State Assembly.〔(Cannon, A. Peter, ed. ''Members of the Wisconsin Legislature: 1848 – 1999''.

== Background ==
Willard was born in Wheelock, Vermont, on November 17, 1805.〔Gordon, Anna Adams, (''Frances E. Willard: a memorial volume'' ): 1898, pg. 18〕 He originally moved to Oberlin, Ohio, to be part of the ministry there. He married Mary Thompson Hill, a schoolteacher. They lived in Churchville, near Rochester, New York, where their first son Oliver was born about 1834; a daughter, Caroline Elizabeth, died in 1838, and in 1839 came the birth of their daughter Frances Elizabeth Caroline. A third daughter, Mary, was born about 1844.
In 1846, Josiah became ill. His doctor advised him to give up his theological studies and move to the open countryside. They moved to a 360-acre farm on a river in Janesville, in the Wisconsin Territory some few miles north of the Illinois border.〔Moren, Isobel V. ''Women Who Reformed Politics'' Minneapolis: The Oliver Press, 1994; p. 30〕 During the family’s stay in Wisconsin, they would convert from Congregationalism to Methodism,〔http://www.franceswillardhouse.org/franceslife/〕 a Protestant denomination that placed an emphasis on social justice and service to the world.
