Notes

The following is quoted from Mansfield Genealogy by Daland and

Mansfield:

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.

The Children or Joseph and Elizabeth Mansfield:

i. John, b. 1662 who probably died at sea,

unmarried. Mentioned in his father's will, 1694,

as his "oldest child, gone to sea about five years".

ii. Deborah, died unmarried, 14 Feb. 1677 (Lynn V.R.).

iii. Elizabeth, b. June 1659, m. 10 Jan. 1675, JOSHUA

WHEAT (Lynn V.R.).

iv. Joseph, b. 20 March 1661: d. 2 June 1739; m.

1 April 1678, ELIZABETH WILLIAMS (Lynn V.R.).

_________________________________________________

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.
