  • Notes 
    • "The Chaffee Genealogy" says Joseph died 15 August 1817 at Rehoboth, MA.

      According to "The Armington Family in America," Joseph & Esther lived and raised their family at Kettle Point on the east shore of the Providence River in that part of Rehoboth which was afterwards included in the town of Seekonk and is now the town of East Providence.

      Joseph belonged to a company of provincial troops under the leadership of Captain Peck of Barrington. Joseph enlisted as an orderly sergeant but performed the duties of ensign. In 1755 they were encamped at Crown Point on Lake George, when a great earthquake struck.

      Captain Peck lived on a farm which afterwards was owned by Enoch Remington, maternal grandfather of Asa W. Armington.

      "Joseph Armenton" also was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.
