| Notes |
- He seems to have been a man of religious life. His Bible, in 1886, in the possession of Mrs. Almira Greene of Old Warwick, has upon its fly-leaf some religious verse, beginning: "Give me grace to run ye race, That heaven may be my resting place," etc. He owned a large farm near an old ore bed in Cranston some miles to one and a half miles west of the present Oak Lawn station on the New Haven railroad, where he lived all his life after he reached the years of his manhood and where he died. He and several generations of his descendants were buried in a family burial ground upon the farm, but their graves are marked only by rough, uninscribed field stones. He also owned and ran a saw-mill upon an adjoining stream called "Meshantituc." He was also a surveyor, and frequently called upon to locate and define the "shares" in, or "rights" to, land which was bought and sold by the early proprietors before they were located. He was known as Captain Joseph. By his industry, sound judgment and high integrity, gained a wide influence. (History and Genealogy of Stukely Westcott, Vol. 1, Pg. 181, 1932)
All children listed in Rhode Island Birth Records, except, for the second Hannah listed here as born 1718, she was not listed in these records. (Rebecca Brown, September 2000)
