No records exist of where or how Joseph spent his childhood after his mother's death. No probate records of Joseph or Sarah have been located. In 1686 he is mentioned by histories as a resident of Reading, being listed a freeman on 18 Apr 1691. About 1693 he removed to that part of Dedham which became Walpole. He is named as a surveyor in Walpole in 1710, and is on the first Walpole grant list in 1726. (The latter may be the son of Joseph Jr.) His war service was from Reading in King Philip's War, in Capt. Poole's Co., and in 1676 he was a Corporal under Lieutenant Swett, in Capt. Turner's Co. at Falls Fight at Quaboag and in the defense of Hatfield. He was thought to have married after the war.
