Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Loring was apprenticed as a tanner but instead chose to enlist the Royal Navy as a young man. He rose to command a privateer during King George's War, however he was captured by the French in 1744. Held as a prisoner in Louisbourg, Nova Scotia for several months, he was eventually released and was made a captain on December 19, 1757. During the French and Indian War, he was involved in naval operations on Lake George and Lake Champlain in 1759 and served under General James Wolfe at the capture of Quebec later that year. Transferred to Lake Ontario, he commanded the advance guard at the Battle of the Thousand Islands while accompanying Field Marshal Jeffrey Amherst to Montreal in August 1760. In the final months of the war, Loring was seriously wounded at an engagement on Lake Ontario and retired at half-pay due to his injuries.

Loring settled in Jamaica Plain and lived at Loring-Greenough House for over a decade. He was also appointed a member of the governor's council by Governor Thomas Gage, a position which he served until the onset of the American Revolutionary War. He was denounced by the Provisional Congress as "an implacable enemy to their country" on March 30, 1775 and, following the Battle of Lexington the next month, Loring rode to Boston by horseback and armed with a pistol. On his way to Boston, he stopped to visit an old friend who asked of his intentions. Loring reportedly replied "I have always eaten the King's bread, and always intend to."

Arriving in Boston, he boarded a ship for England forced to leave his home and belongs behind. His estate was later confiscated by the state in 1779. He received a royal pension until his death at Highgate, England in 1781. His son, Joshua Loring, Jr., later became a high-sheriff in Suffolk County, Massachusetts and was a Deputy Commissary of American prisoners-of-war in New York from 1777 until 1783. His other sons, Sir John Wentworth Loring and Henry Lloyd Loring also had successful careers in the service of Britain, the latter becoming an archdeacon of Calcutta.

The area was once Jordanian, in the 1967-war it was annexed to Israel, like most of the neighboring land also. After the construction of houses on the formerly empty land began, building contractors uncovered a Jewish tomb dated to the first century after the death of Christ. It contained a crucified man in his twenties, with the Hebrew name 'Jehohanan ben ha galgol (son of galgol).The evidence for this was based on the right calcaneum (heel bone) of the individual, pierced by an iron nail 11.5 cms. in length.

The Poem (Dutch)
Ode aan de Olli

Daar was daar eens een Olli, hij reed er met een Trolly. En hij verliet het land, den Trolly in de hand. Die Trolly was bepakken, met boeken aller vakken. Daarop sprak thans die Olli: 'Hoe zwaar is niet mijn Trolly?' 'Och!' sprak toen Joëlle, 'Ik trek den Trolly wel.' Ja 'twas des moeders plicht, te slepen dit gewicht. Daar sterk als Olli was, zo breed was zijnen kas. Maar Olli was onvrolijk, hij miste zijn console. 'Och!' sprak daarop Pa, 'Den PSP ist da!' 'Yes!' schreeuwde den Olli, al openend zijn Trolly. Maar in den gewielde zak, trof hij een toiletzak. Parfum trof hij aldaar, zowaar, echt wonderbaar! Ja dit maakte hem heet; Olli de chickmagneet. Ook gel was zijner knecht, zijn kuifje stond kaarsrecht. Doch 'ndanks dit op-gesmuk, was Zij op hem niet tuk. 'n Parijs reeds lang geleden, ons' Eva had gegaapt, toen sprak Ollie tevreden: 'Zo schattig als je slaapt.' 'Oh Yes!' dacht Olli, 'Raak!' doch hij had ongelijk, het viel niet in de smaak. Teleur was Olli gesteld, het zat hem niet zo mee, hij heeft Eva gemeld: 'kverhuis, en nú, okee!' Och och, die pius Olli, zijn cognomen was Trolly. Hijft slechts zestien jaar gehad, doch hij werd veertig geschat. Nee Olli, wordt niet kwaad! Jij lieve psychopaat. Het is slechts een gedicht! Mijn mede-blokker's plicht.
