He learned the trades of machinist and iron moulder, then worked in the New Hampshire towns of Lebanon, Hooksett and Nashua, and Pittsfield, Massachusetts, returning to Nashua about 1833. For a time, he was employed in the machine shop of the Nashua Manufacturing Company, then relocated to Clinton, Massachusetts, where he was superintendent of the Lancaster Mills. In 1850, he returned to Nashua, where he purchased an interest in the Nashua Lock Company. In business with him were Col. L.W. Noyes and Robert Living. They produced locks, knobs and house trimmings. The partnership dissolved and Jotham became sole owner of the business, which he renamed the Otterson Foundry. In the days before Nashua was incorporated, he belonged to the Fire Department, was foreman of the engine company and Chief. He served in the New Hampshire Legislature during two sessions, and in 1868 and 1870 was Mayor of the city of Nashua. Jotham was one of the founders of the Pearl Street Congregational Church, to which he gave considerable financial support as well as his active involvement. However, by 1826, it became necessary for the church to close. Its successor was Pilgrim Congregational Church, established in 1826 and still serving the mission of Jesus Christ. Jotham is remembered as a conservative and practical businessman, who paid good wages and took a deep interest in everything that promoted the well-being of the working man. He was " one of the truly good and generous men of Nashua, who performed every duty of life with conscientious fidelity, and left an unblemished record in all things" (Judge Edward E. Parker [ed.], HISTORY OF THE CITY OF NASHUA, N.H. [Nashua, N.H.: Telegraph Publishing Company, 1897], 551).
