Joseph TISDALE [1] |
- Capt. Joseph, Jr., eldest son of Joseph and Mary Leonard Tisdale, and great-grandfather of Col. Israel Tisdale, was born in Taunton in 1682. He married Ruth Reed, daughter of John reed, of Taunton, march 13, 1706, and was prominent among men of his time, taking an active interest in church affairs.
In Emery's "History of Taunton" we find that Capt. Joseph Tisdale, with other Taunton men, petitioned the General Court of Massachusetts for the incorporation of a new town on the western bank of the Connecticut Rive, under the name of Township No. One, or New Taunton. This territory, now Westminster, Vt., was about six miles square, and situated a few miles south of the present town of Bellows Falls. On learning that the territory was not in Massachusetts, nearly all the incorporators sold their interests.
Capt. Joseph Tisdale died August 8, 1739, and was buried in the family lot on "the Plain", Taunton. "His widow, with commendable spirit, imported a pair of gravestones, which now shadow his remains." She died August, 1748, aged 69 years. [1]
