Joseph was a cordwainer and shoemaker. In 1675 Joseph was a soldier in Captain Isaac Johnson's Dedham Company "in bloody Narragansett Swamp fight" in King Philip War. Many years later men who served were given grants in Narragansett #5, Souhegan East (now Bedford, NH); claiment for Joseph Benson was his son Joseph. At his father's death, Joseph shared equally with his brother John all lands and commons, and he received the "barn and house lot ... with the old dwelling house on it," with a single portion of all moveables.
Made freeman in May Court 1678 in Hull. Joseph died intestate. His eight children settled his estate, giving their brother Joseph quitclaim deeds for their various interests. | Benson, Joseph (I26650)

Joseph was a husbandman and innholder, and lived in Holliston many years, but later move to Connecticut. On 25 Dec 1797, Joseph Hill, yeoman, of Killingly, CT., sold all his rights in Holliston swamps laid out to his grandfather Ebenezer Hill. Phebe died in 1763, leaving one child. !NEHGR Descendants of John Hill-July 1904, p.239 Joseph and Elizabeth Hill had several children. | Hill, Joseph (I11027)

Joseph was born in England and came to New England with his parents in 1635. He lived first in Watertown, but soon removed to Dedham, where he received, 18 Aug, 1636, twelve acres of land for a home lot. Joseph MORSE is recorded as having with his brother Daniel taken the Freeman's oath 6 May 1635, though he did not leave England earlier than on the 18th of April, and was then aged 20. There may be an error in the records, or the voyage was made in 19 days, during which he attained his majority and was admitted to his oath without a year's probation, contrary to law and common usage. He first settled in Watertown and early united with the church. He attended the first recorded meeting of the proprietors of Dedham, 15 Aug 1636, and was with Daniel among the first to whom land was there alloted, of which "they did not take immediate possession, which occasioned some complaint."

Joseph MORSE came from Watertown to Dedham in 1637. He lived for some time at Dorchester, where his family remained while he was building a house at Medfield and commencing the cultivation of his land. He died in 1654, before his place in Medfield was ready for the removal of his family. No trace of his grave has been discovered. His inventory taken in June 1654, is in two parts. That part which he had in Medfield consisted of house lot, house, barn, and materials to finish same, and the crop of corn on the land valued at 183 pounds. That part in Dorchester consisted of cattle, crops, furniture, tools, etc. The family removed to Medfield in 1654, and in 1658 his widow remarried Thomas Boyden. Boyden became guardian of her children, whom tradition says he defrauded. When her eldest son Samuel came of age, his portion was set off, and he settled on the homestead, half a mile S.E. of Medfield meeting house. Boyden took all the remaining houses and lands. He had to pay to each of the heirs 26 pounds 123s. 4d. Hannah died in 1676, at the house of her eldest daughter in Boston.

Joseph White began his career in Weymouth and moved to Mendon in the early 1660s. He was a major landholder in Mendon and served the town in several capacities, particularly as surveyor, a position he first filled 6 September 1668 (Annals of Mendon, 34).
Joseoph was a Founding Father of Mendon. He built the first "saw Pitt" on Founder's park grounds. He returned to Weymouth during King Philip's War. Name appears on all land divisions in Mendon till his death. One of the wealthiest men in Town: was called Sgt. was in command of scouts and garrison during King Philip's War. He had the largest house where all settlers gathered during King Philip's War before all left Mendon. He was suppose to be the last man to leave and was in charge of keeping and
saving all the records when settlers left during King Philip's War; However no records were ever found for those 5 years.
!Src. Annals of Mendon; Manu. Joseph White's Houselot; (MHM)
Note: Founders Park today is still called sacred grounds as the first three Meeting houses were built there. It is also the location of Joseph'White's Homestead and he had the first saw pit, on these grounds.
On 22 5mo 1662 Joseph White was one of ten Weymouth men to agree to receive an allotment in the new plantation to be called Mendon (ibid., 34). He was slow to relocate, however, and on 30 10mo 1663 had to request that his grant be renewed, which it was, provided he settle his family there by November of the next year (ibid., 7). The 'goodman" White who desired acceptance for "his son and Thomas Kingman" on this list, may have referred to Thomas1 White. While this is possible it is much more likely that "goodman" White in this case was Joseph White providing for his own infant son (ibid.).
On 10 September 1667 Joseph White and John Thompson Sr. were told to lay a cartway through the south meadows (ibid., 23).
With other Mendon men, Joseph White agreed to invite Rev. Joseph Emerson to be Mendon's first minister (ibid., 4546).
In the wilderness of Mendon, the town petitioned the General Court 7 May 1670 to ask for a respite from the county rates (ibid., 4748). On 14 June 1671 Joseph White was one of twenty-three early settlers who received lots which doubled their homelots (ibid., 49-50).
At the start of King Philip's War, Sergeant Joseph White was asked to "seek our praying Indians and remove them to Mendon ... for the security of the Indians as the English' (ibid., 65-66). As the war escalated, many abandoned Mendon. Capt. D. Henchman marched away and left his command with Sergeant White, who oversaw the breaking up of the town (ibid., 69-73).
At the resumption of town government after the war, Sergeant Joseph White was elected a selectman 3 January 1680/1 (ibid., 80). He served as selectman again the next year and from 1685 through 1689 (ibid., 80, 83, 98, 102, 104, 105). His rank went from Sergeant to Captain in 1689.
In a petition of 25 May 1685, Joseph White was second to sign the request that the General Court order the removal of all Indians from the township of Mendon, stating that the large number of drunken Indians wandering about were a danger to the inhabitants and their families.
Joseph WHITE left no probate records, a fact probably explained by a deed in which he and Lydia described themselves as aged and unable to care for their farm and through which they transferred the reversion to their son, Joseph WHITE, on 4 Dec 1704.
!TAG 67:90
On 4 December 1704 Joseph White Sr. of Mendon made a testamentary deed, saying 'whereas myself & my loving wife Lydia White are thro' the providence of God brought unto old age, & find the infirmities of old age growing upon us, & all our Children being removed from us" he directed in return for "loving son Joseph White to take the sole care of me & my wife during our natural lives' Joseph was to receive the whole reversion of "my now dwelling house, Barn, Orchards ... excepting one five acre lot given by deed to my son Thomas White ... and one five acre lott more given to my son John White," the homestead and doubling lot whereof & part of his meadow being on the easterly side of Muddy Brook and bounded by twelve acres more being laid out, and partly improved by him on the westerly side of the Wash River, with two acres of swamp near the same on the intervals lying on the great river, the rest of his meadow to be laid out of the meadow which he had partly improved. The remainder of his upland to be taken up by him out of Joseph's fourth division, and one five acre lot more to "my son Ebenezer White," twelve acres whereof two acres of swamp lying adjoining to the five acres given to "my son John" and Joseph to have the husbandry tools and tackling and the improvement of two cows and eleven sheep, as long as he provided for "me & my wife's comfort & toward our support during our natural lives." He appointed "my beloved son Thomas White & Cousin Samuel Read junr." overseers. After the death of Joseph and Lydia, Joseph directed that all the moveables should be equally divided amongst their children, except if the overseers thought more should go to Joseph for his trouble. Joseph Jr. accepted the responsibility and also signed the deed (Suffolk Deed 38:2,42). The deed was not acknowledged until 6 July 1725 when one of the witnesses 'Woodland Tompson" came forward and testified that he had seen them agree. That it was not brought forward for twenty years suggests that Lydia (Rogers) White, for whom we have no approximate death date, may have lived until shortly before July 1725. | White, Joseph (I11646)

Joseph Wight and Martha Thompson of Bellingham were married in Boston with Samuel Checkley, Esq. officiating. They lived at Bellingham and their children were born there.
Joseph Wight was among the fifteen founders of the Baptist Church in Bellingham, the fourth Baptist church in all of Massachusetts. He was elected deacon in 14 February 1755. The other fourteen original signers were Nicholas Cook, Benjamin Force, Ebenezer Hayward, Eleazer Hayward, Samuel Hayward, Eliphalet Holbrook, Joseph Partridge, Edward Pickering, Eleazer Taft, John Thompson, Jonathan Thompson, Peter Thompson, Samuel Thompson, and Elnathan Wight. The church was built in Crimpville.
Joseph is known in Bellingham records as Deacon Joseph Wight, Jr. He is last mentioned in church records 2 July, 1773, when at a regular meeting it was voted to dismiss him from serving as "princibal member to signe certifiticks." The death record at Bellingham indicates Joseph died in his "89th year." Martha died in Bellingham aged 76. | Wight, Joseph Deacon (I14303)

Joshua BIGELOW was a soldier in King Philip's war in Capt. Ting's company and was wounded, and in consideration of his services in that war the General Court gave him a grant of land in Narragansett No. 2. He lived in Watertown the most of his life and his children were born there, and when his father died he was appointed executor of the will with his brother-in-law Isaac Learned, and was a well known citizen in Watertown; but late in life (his 87th year), being anxious to reside on the land that he had earned at the peril of his life, removed from Watertown (in company with his son Eleizer) to the grant of land in Narragansett No. 2, now Westminster, making the journey 9 June 1742, where he spent the last years of his life. He was the first adult to die in that new town, on 1 Feb 1745.

Joshua Fisher migrated from England, to Dedham, Mass., in 1639, one year after his eldest son Joshua. Originally from Syleham, the parish register of Redenhall, Norfolk (about three miles from Syleham, on the opposite side of the Waveney River), at the Norfolk Record Office in Norwich, contains baptisms and burials for several other children. They may have lived there from about 1621 to abut 1636.
Brother Anthony Fisher came first to Dedham, Massachusetts in 1637 with his nephew, Joshua. Dedham records of 1 January 1637/38 show that "Vpon a motion made by Anto Fisher It is condescended that Josua Fisher may enter vpon the Smithes Lott & ther fitt himselfe ye building & otherwise for to doe some worke of yt trade for ye Towne in the behalfe of his Father wch is expected this next somer. Provided yt yf he cometh not in such a tyme as may be conceived fitting by our sayd society Then the sayd Joshua shall leave ye sayd Lott & ye Towne to be at liberty to put in another Smith: aloweing vnto the sayd Josua his wholl Charges vpon the same to be alowed by 2: Judicious men."
The father Joshua Fisher apparently had not arrived by 28 August 1638, on which date Edward Kempe, blacksmith, was granted half the smith's lot.
Joshua and Anne prbably sailed soon after their February 1638/9 marriage. The first mention of Joshua in the Dedham records is on 23 March 1639/40; the last is 21 September 1650. Probably in the spring or summer of 1651 Joshua and Anne became residents of Medfield, a new settlement created from part of Dedham. | Fisher, Joshua (I10446)

Josiah probably settled in Jefferson County about 1801. In the History of Jefferson County, 1793-1854 it states (p.135) that in Champion, the "Methodists first organized a legal society, December 30, 1825, with M. Andrews, Wilson Pennock, and Josiah Townsend as trustees. A second society was formed, April 11, 1827, with Samuel Loomis, William Davis, and Wilson Pennock, trustees. A church was built in 1826 or 7, in this town (Champion), two mile from the Great Bend, at a cost of $700."
The First Methodist Church of Champion, located at Great Bend village, was organized in 1826 by Nathaniel Salisbury and Gardner Baker. Their first house, a wooden structure, was built in 1826, about two miles from the present site. This whole territory was then called the "Black River Circuit." Nathaniel Salisbury and Gardner Baker were colleagues upon the circuit when the first church was built, which would seat about 300 persons. The house stood upon one of the four corners known as "Francis and Babcock Corners," was built of wood, plain, without steeple or belfry---no daub of paint was ever upon it inside or out, and no cushions were ever upon its seats, except one individual one. Jesse Penfield, Isaac Puffer, F. H. Stanton, and many others were among its pastors. As churches were built at Feltās Mills and Champion village, the congregation here grew smaller, members died, and when it was decided to abandon the "old church" but few members remained. The church was dedicated at a watch-meeting held December 31, 1826, and the last benediction was pronounced January 1, 1887, when the new year was but just dawning. The present house of worship, also a wooden structure, was built in 1887, at a cost of $2,300, about its present value. It will seat about 200 persons, and was dedicated about four months after the old church was abandoned. Wilson Pennock, a local preacher, Jason Francis, Josiah Townsend, and Elijah Francis were the first trustees of the church. About two years after the organization of the church Nathan Francis was appointed class-leader, and has since served in that capacity without intermission. The present trustees are Emerson Peck, E. J. Pennock, and J. D. Pennock. The present church building is modern in style, with a tower 50 feet high, is nicely furnished and carpeted, and is heated by a furnace. It was dedicated free from debt, is in a flourishing condition, with a present membership of 54, and Henry Ernest is the present pastor. The Sunday-school has about 80 members, with Edwin Sweet, superintendent.

Just when, where and how Jaques Cortelyou became acquainted with
Neeltje Van Duyn we do not know. Their marriage date can only be
approximated, and few details concerning Neeltje's background are
available.
The circumstances connected with Neeltje's coming to New Netherlands were
a little unusual, for she and her brother, Gerrit Cornelise Van Duyn,
seem to have come to the Dutch Settlements as unmarried young people,
unaccompanied by their parents, some three years before Jaques arrived.
Bergen (ELKC, p. 331) sates the Gerrit Cornelise (Van Duyn), the common
ancestor of the family, emigrated in 1649 from Nieuwkerk, in Zeeland.
This date is no doubt correct, for Gerrit, when taking the oath of
allegiance in 1687, declared that he had arrived thirty-eitght years
earlier.
Neeltje presumably crossed the Atlantic with her brother. Where she and
her brother lived until her marriage to Jaques, around 1655-56, is not
known. Gerrit did not marry until October, 1663." | Family F312
