"Joseph Rakestraw, son of William Rakestraw and his first wife Grace -------, is little known. In "A Record of the Register of Philadelphia Monthly Meeting," p. 284 in which we find Joseph Rakestraw, son of William Rakestraw, 8th mo. 1, 1700, and this notation added later: "In digging a grave in Friends Burial Ground in Philada. in the Spring of 1815, a tomb stone was found with the following inscription. Here lies a plant | Too many seen it | Flourished and perisht | In half a minute. Joseph Rakestraw the son of William Shot by a negro September 30th 1700." In pencil is this: "Joseph Rakestraw printer, had this stone many years and built it up in his grate, it being soapstone. So his sister Sarah told S.L.S." The printer was probably #19, below. We nothing of the wife of this Joseph but think he was probably the father of the grandson Joseph mentioned in his his father's will and place him here because of the position of the grandson in the will.
