My seven times great grandfather - going back on my father's mother's side of the ancestry I find (and repost about)...
Joseph Swasey II (his father Joseph immigrated to the American colonies in 1632 from England)
Birth 12 Sept, (or 13 Oct or Nov?) 1653 in Salem, Essex, Massachusetts Death 1710 in Salem, Essex, Massachusetts
The birthdate is listed on Salem birth registry as "13: 8m: 1653" [I'm not sure 8th month was August, they seem to think it was September.] (He is the Joseph Swase, s of Joseph and Mary in the center of the page below.) I don't know what CT. and R. mean.
But I do know he lived in Salem in 1692 when the infamous witch trials were taking place. Salem Village was the site of the witch trials, while Salem Town was not. Salem Village is now Danvers, MA, and Salem Town is our present day Salem, MA. There is no distinction in the records I've been looking at...so I don't know upon which side of a disputed border the Swaseys lived.
"Joseph
Swasey, Bapt. in Salem, Mass, Sept. 12, 1653; died in Salem 1710;
married Oct. 16, 1678, Elisabeth Lambert of Salem. He probably followed
the occupation of his father, a fisherman. We do not know that he or
his father continued in the faith as Quakers as did his uncle &
grandfather, who had emigrated to Southold on Long Island, State of New
York.
"Joseph left the homestead on English Street in 1680 & bought a house on Beckford Street in the northerly part of the town where all his children were born. This house he occupied until his decease. The oldest son, Samuel, was appointed administrator, June 29, 1710, inv. Nov. 6, 1710, personal 9 pounds, 18 shillings; real 80 pounds, consisting of a house & 17 poles of land. Estate divided to the widow who survived him, to son, Samuel, & the child of his sister Elisabeth. His son Joseph, had moved to Old Newbury, Mass; before the father's death.
