  !Taken from the "Olmsted in America" book published 1912 by Henry King Olmsted,Page 22. IGI Batch #7205523 - Call #820213 93. The book says he was born inE. Haddom, but the IGI says Hartford or Hartford Twp. It was submitted twice. !The Olmsted book also says he moved to Bolton, CT and in 1742 removed to Enfield, CT. !The Olmsted stones in Enfield Cemetery read: "To the memory of Joseph Olmsted, Esq., who, having served his generation according to the will of God, in several important offices, civil and military, he died in ye Faith of yeGospel. !His tombstone reads: His body lies beneath this tomb, And shews whereto all flesh must come. No state of worth, not grace can save; There's no Distinction in the grave." !Her tombstone reads: In memory of Mrs. Martha, theamiable Relict of Joseph Olmsted, Esq. Forbear toweep my loving friends; Deathis the voice Jehovah sends to call us to our home. Thro' these dark shades from pains redres't, Is the right path to endless rest, Where joys immortal bloom."
