• Notes

  Joseph Parkhurst was born in 1629 in Ipswich, Suffolk, England. He was christened on 21 December 1629 in Saint Margaret, Ipswich, Suffolk, England. He married Rebecca Reade daughter of Esdras Reade and Elizabeth Watson, on 26 June 1656 in Concord, Middlesex Co., MA. He died on 30 November 1709 in Chelmsford, Middlesex Co., MA, at age 79. Joseph probably came to Watertown, MA before 1640 with his father and siblings. Joseph was a proprietor (original settler) of the New Field (a new district or "town") in Chelmsford, MA and was allotted 12 acres on 12 March 1666/7. His house lot was located "west by town highway to the mill, north by land of Thomas Sewell, east by town common, south by land of John Wright". This location is now on Stedman Street, Lowell, MA. On the ministerial tax list of 1672, Joseph was listed with eight acres, three cows, two oxen (1 - 2 years old), two yearlings, five swine, and one horse. Sometime later Joseph moved to the Stoney Brook district, which is now in Westford, MA where he died. Source: "Tom Young Family Tree" Updated: Wed Apr 7 13:09:01 2004
