    Notes:

    I have made an assumption that this Joseph Ellsbree living at Fall River in the 1850 Federal Census is a son of Joshua & Rhoda (Brightman) Elsbree. Joseph and his family are living near "Rhoda Ellsbree," age 77, who is living with Samuel Brightman & family, near several other Brightman families. Joseph has a son named Henry, which is one clue that he belongs in this family, since Rhoda's father was Henry Brightman.

    In 1850 he is age 30 and his wife Laura is 34. They have five children: Joseph A. 12, Henry M. 10, Adelaide J. 7, John F. 5, & Hannah J. 2, all born MA.

    In 1860 the family is still at Fall River, MA: Joseph 48, Laura 36, Adelaide I. 17, John F. 14, & Hannah J. 13. Also in the household are Lorenzo D. White 25 VT, & Ariadne 7 MA. It is not clear what Ariadne's last name is, but perhaps she is a younger daughter of Joseph & Laura, since they had a twin of that name who died.

    The death record of Joseph Elsbree gives his date of death as 17 Aug 1886, at age 74 y 5 m 27 d; residence 53 Elsbree in Fall River; occupation farmer; cause of death was stomach cancer; parents identified as Joshua and Rhoda. (Fall River Vol.373: Pg.93)

    Joseph married Laura A. White Abt 1837. Laura was born 28 Oct 1816, VT or MA; died 8 May 1898, Fall River, Bristol Co., MA; was buried , Oak Grove Cemetery, Fall River, MA. [Group Sheet]


  2. 5.  Laura A. White was born 28 Oct 1816, VT or MA; died 8 May 1898, Fall River, Bristol Co., MA; was buried , Oak Grove Cemetery, Fall River, MA.

    Notes:

    According to the death record, Laura died at 112 N. Boston Rd., cause of death apoplexy, age 81y 7m 11d; it says she was born in Montpelier, VT, daughter of Horatio.

  1. 8.  Joshua ELSBREE was born 6 Apr 1775, Fall River, Bristol Co., MA (son of Boomer ELSBREE and Hannah LUTHER); died 7 May 1839, Fall River, Bristol Co., MA; was buried , North Burial Ground, Fall River, MA.

    Notes:

    The 1840 Federal Census at Troy (Fall River), Bristol Co., MA, has a listing for Joshua Elsbree. This may be our ancestor, although the age may be a bit off; I have estimated both his birth year and death year. The household in 1840 consists of: 1 M 15<20, 1 M 20<30, 1 M 50<60, 1 F 15<20, and 1 F 50<60. Joshua is listed next to Ephraim Boomer.

    However, "The Luther Genealogy" p. 279 says Joshua died/was bur 7 May 1839. This appears to be confirmed by his gravestone in North Burial Ground, Fall River.

    Joshua married Rhoda BRIGHTMAN 16 Mar 1800, Freetown, Bristol Co., MA. Rhoda (daughter of Henry BRIGHTMAN and Mary READ) was born 2 Jul 1774, Fall River, Bristol Co., MA; died 24 Aug 1854, Fall River, Bristol Co., MA; was buried , North Burial Ground, Fall River, MA. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Rhoda BRIGHTMAN was born 2 Jul 1774, Fall River, Bristol Co., MA (daughter of Henry BRIGHTMAN and Mary READ); died 24 Aug 1854, Fall River, Bristol Co., MA; was buried , North Burial Ground, Fall River, MA.

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Rhoda (Brightman) Ellsbree is age 77, living at Fall River, MA, with Samuel R. Brightman and family. This could be her nephew or son-in-law. There are several other Brightman families nearby.

    Rhoda Elsbree died at Fall River on 24 Aug 1854 at age 81 y 1 m. She died of "old age." The death record identifies her parents as "Henry & Maria," no other surname or maiden name given (Fall River Vol.84: Pg.67). I found Rhoda's maiden name on several trees at Rootsweb's Worldconnect.

    Her gravestone says she died on 23 Aug 1854.

    Notes:

    At the time of their marriage, Joshua & Rhoda were both of Freetown.
