. JOSEPH MANSFIELD (second of the name) son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Needham) Mansfield, was born about 1655 or 1656. He deposed on the 25th of March 1682 that he was then about 26 years of age. According to the Lynn record he was born 20: 1 m, 1660 (20 March 1660/1) eleven months before his mother's death. That he was older than his brother John (whose birth is not recorded) is shown from the order of listing in their father's will and in that of their grandfather Needham, and the grandfather (in or about 1676) called John the grandson "which I have brought up since his childhood till now he is about 15 years old." It would seem that the Lynn record applied to John, not to Joseph.

. Pagse 9-10: JOSEPH MANSFIELD (Robert1) was born in or before 1628 (de Forest, 1930), died 22 April 1694 at Lynn (Lynn V.R.). He Married before June, 1652, ELIZABETH NEEDHAM, who died 25 Feb. 1662 at Lynn (Lynn V.R.), daughter of Edmund and Jone Needham of Lynn.

Jospeh was sworn as a freeman at a court held in Salem, 27: 4: 1649.

He was a soldier in the Narragansett War in 1675 (Mass. Colonial Records 5: 70).

He was listed as in Capt. Samuel Appleton's company, 10 Dec. 1675 (N.E. Hist. Gen. Reg. 38: 441).

In 1685 he was one of 25 Lynn residents who signed a petition to the Massachusetts General Court for remuneration for their service in the 1675 war (Lynn Town Records 27 May 1685).

On 8 Jan. 1691 a Lynn Town Meeting voted "yt Matthew Farington, senr., Henry Silsbee, and Joseph Mansfield, senr., should sit in ye Decons seats." (Records of Town Meetings of Lynn, 1691-1701, published by Lynn Historical Soc., 1949).

At a meeting of Lynn selectmen, 29 Feb. 1692, Joseph Mansfield was chosen one of five surveyors of the highways, and

at a meeting 7 March 1693/4 he was chosen one of three Tithing Men (pp.10,22).

The will of Edmund Needham, Joseph's father-in-law, dated 26: 4th mo.: 1677, and proved 29: 4th mo.: 1677 (Quarterly Courts of Essex County, VI: 303) makes bequests to Joseph's four children: "First, (to) his son Joseph Mansfield, one yo (young) sheep, and to his next son, John Mansfield, whom I have brot up ever since his childhood till now he is about 15 years old, to him, the said John Mansfield I give one cow and on you sheep not exceeding 4 years old, and to his daughter, Elizabeth Wheat, on yo sheep, and to Deborah Mansfield on yo sheep."


The will of Joseph Mansfield, dated 4 Apr. 1694 and proven 2 July 1694 (Probate Records Essex Co. 3:166) gave to his son Joseph "my now dwelling house and my lot with my housing upon it, and the orchard." These were the premise Joseph had received by gift from his father, Robert, 16 Jun 1652; also several parcels of salt and fresh marsh. To son John "that piece of land I bought of Mr. Ruck, adjoining to the land that was Andrew Townsend's:" also upland in Ramsdell's Neck, and salt marsh. He mentions that John had been gone to sea about five years, and "I knoe not whether he be dead or alive; if he is dead or never comes home to new England, then son Joseph is to have all (that was) bequeathed to John. If John have occasion to sell, then Joseph is to have refusal, giving as much as another would give. To daughter Elizabeth 20 pounds in corn, cattle or goods; or if she claims land, then to have three acres of fresh meadow in the great meadow in the country, in lieu of the 20." Elizabeth's husband Joshua Wheat, died in 1692, in his 94th year. Essex Court records give his name as Joshua Witt, and in Lewis and Newhall's History of Lynn it is "J. Wait." Their children were Moses, b. 30 May 1676, d. 15 June1676, and Mary.

. A deed dated 16 JUN 1652, by Robert, gave to his son, Joseph the homestead first referred to, on condition that he should provide for his father and mother during their lives. (Quarterly Courts of Essex County, VIII, pp.254-256). These pemises were bounded, east, by John Witt; west, by Francis Burrill; south, by the County Road; and north, by "The Rocks", and consisted of nine acres, with buildings and orchard. Robert and his wife doubtless lived and died on these premises, which remained in the possession of their descendants for several generations. The old house, whch stood on Boston Street at thhe sorner of Moulton Street, entil about the 1890's is said by tradition to hhave been built in 1666. Joseph Moulton, a descendant, repaired and remodelled it in 1844. His widow, Anna Mansfield, lived in it until shhe died, in 1895. The deed of 1652 to his son, Joseph, also included eight other parcels of land in Lynn, totalling 34 acres.

From the "Wall Family Tree" database on Ancestry.com:
. JOSEPH MANSFIELD, born in England, youngest son of Robert and Elizabeth Mansfield, married Elizabeth Needham, daughter of Edmund Needham of Lynn, who in his will bequeathed to son-in-law Joseph Mansfield's children, naming each of the four. He had outlived his daughter, their mother. Joseph's wife died the 25th of the 12th month (Feb.) 1661/2. During King Philip's war he was a trooper in Captain Appleton's company and was in the Great Swamp Fight December 19, 1675. In 1685, citizens of several Massachusetts towns, men who had been in active service in the war, petitioned the General Court for a grant of land in the Nipmugg country, and his name is on the Lynn list. The petition was granted; but the Andros administration came into power, and probably the Indian outbreaks at intervals thereafter also contributed to delay, so that it was nearly fifty years before new settlements were opened up, and but few of the original grantees were then living.

The first mention of Isaac Williams in Salem town records is dated July 7, 1659. At a meeting of the selectmen he and Henry Skerry were chosen to seal the weights. He would then be about thirty years old since according to the list of Early settlers of Essex and Old Norfolk he was aged 36 in 1665. That he belonged to the second generation of a Williams family of New England seems probable. The name was not an uncommon one in the Massachusetts Bay region in the early years. He is called Constable October 15, 1664, in a Quarterly Court record.

His wife's name was Margery and in all probability she was the daughter of Henry and Ann Collins, aged two when brought to New England in 1635 with her brothers, Henry aged 5 and John aged 3.

The birth of a daughter, Elizabeth Williams, August 23, 1660, is the earliest of their family records in Salem, followed by the birth of Isaac, December 20, 1662. Sarah and Deborah were both baptized the 5th of June 1664, but that they were older than Elizabeth is shown not only from the order of their listing in their father's will but from the date of the marriage of Deborah to Joseph Gray, August 10, 1675, eleven years after her baptism. It would appear that these two daughters had been born before the family settled in Salem. Five children (Benjamin, two Jonathans, John and one unnamed) all older than Ebenezer (who was baptized in December 1674) doubtless died young since their names do not appear in their father's will.

Ebenezer Stocker (1), was of Lynn, Massachusetts, as early
as 1674, when he married Captain Marshall's daughter Sarah. This is the first definite mention of his name in colonial
history, although there is ground for the belief that he was a son of Thomas Stocker, who was a tenant on the Cogan farm in Rumney Marsh, Chelsea, in 1640, road surveyor in 1652 and 1654, and constable of Rumney Marsh district in 1661. His name and that of his son Thomas appear on the Rumney Marsh
tax list in 1674, and both the elder Thomas and his wife Martha were members of the church in Lynn about that time. The records show that by wife Martha Thomas Stocker had a son Thomas and a daughter Elizabeth, and it is probable that they also had sons Samuel, who married Mary Witt in June, 1665. Daniel, who married Margery Salmon in 1672, and Ebenezer of whom mention has been made and who is the earliest known ancestor of the family treated in this place.

Ebenezer Stocker married, July 15, 1674, Sarah Marshall, born February 14, 1655, daughter of Captain Thomas Marshall, who was one of the leading characters in early Lynn history.

He served several years in the army and then returned to Lynn
"laden with military glory," as Mr. Lewis says in his "Annals of Lynn." He was representative to the general court six times, and in Lynn kept tavern on the west side of Sawyers river, where "with all the frankness and hospitality of a firm old English gentleman he kept open doors for the accommodation of the travelling public for more than forty years."
