Second Generation


3. Joseph WILBORE (William ) was born 1656 in Portsmouth, Newport Co., Rhode Island. He died 4 May 1729 in Little Compton, Newport Co., Rhode Island.

THE WILDBORES IN AMERICA, Vol. 1, by John Reid Wilbor and Benjamin Franlin Wilbour, 1933, page
     The epitaph on his tombstone reads, "In Memory of Joseph Wilbore son of William of Portsmouth who emigrated to Little Compton in 1680, died May 4, 1729, age 73 yrs"
    Therefore it would seem that he was of Little Compton, RI in 1680.
    By his father's will he received 30 acres of land near the Commons.
    This will was made Dec. 15, 1701 and his father died in 1710.
    It is very probable that he was living on this land for many years prior to his fathers decease.
    He added to this farm and is buried in the old burying ground on the place. He made his will Jan. 11, 1728 and it was proven June 4, 1729.
    His wife Anne Wilbore made her will Dec. 12, 1739 and it was proven April 7, 1747. All of their children were born in Little Compton.

    They are buried in the cementery laid out by him in his will. They lived on the place owned by Oliver H. Wilbor in 1890. The original house was built about 1690, that is the east half with ell. The west half was built later, probably about the time of the Revolution.
    His will, recorded in Taunton, made in 14 Jan. 1729/30 and proved 17 June 1740. "...I give to son Samuel his now dwelling house and all my lands that lie to the eastward of the Cole Brook line and 100 pounds. To son William Wilbore my now dwelling house and the rest of my land where it now standeth, that is to say the west half of all my homestead farm (later the Oliver H. Wilbor place). To son Isaac Wilbor one half of my homestead farm, the east end thereof (this is the land off the Swamp Road opposite the
Wilbor in 1870).
    To daughters Martha Pearce, JOHANNA TAYLOR, Mary Brownell, Thankful Irish, and Elizabeth Peckham, 40 pounds each. And my will is that whereas I have a burying place on the south side of the land that I have given my son William, my will is there be a piece of land four rods square allowed for a bruying place and also a driftway to use and no other forever, never to be sold and put away, so that my family may have liberty to bury in it. (This is the old cementery on the Oliver Wilbor Place.)..."
