Notes

Joseph settled in his native town. His farm lay on the east side of the river road in that part of West Springfield known as Riverdale. He and his first wife united with the First Congregational Church in 1822, and his second wife in 1829. Another source gives Joseph and Achsah's marriage date as April 6, 1824.
