No Josiah Pitts is listed in this book.
The book is arranged alphabetically.
By 'indexed in the book' (it does not have an index) you probably mean you searched on Ancestry.com, which retrieves a listing such as "Thompson, Josiah, Pitts" as if there were a Josiah Pitts.In an entry such as this, the word 'Pitts' is the author's abbreviation for Virginians who were listed in payrolls and public claims lists for services during Dunmore's War, which (since conducted by a British Governor for his own reasons) had no connection with Revolutionary War service.
Best wishes,
