Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Joseph Elsbree was born 21 Jul 1810, Fall River, Bristol Co., MA; died 17 Aug 1886, Fall River, MA; was buried , Oak Grove Cemetery, Fall River, MA.

    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]

  1. 2.  Joseph Alden Elsbree Descendancy chart to this point (1.Joseph1) was born 12 Apr 1838, Fall River, Bristol Co., MA; died Aft 1 Jun 1860.

    Notes:

    In the 1860 Federal Census, Joseph A. Elsbree is age 22, living at Taunton, MA, in the household of John & Rhoda Allen. Also there are Henry, Susan, & Adelaide Elsbree. The penmanship of the census taker is rather sloppy (Elsba), but clearly these are members of the Elsbree family.

    In 1870, Joseph A. Elsbree is married and age 31, living at Fall River, MA, with his parents and his wife, Nellie M. 20, and son Merton A., 2 mos.

    Notes:

    In the 1860 Federal Census, Henry & Susan, ages 20 & 21, and newly married, are living at Taunton, MA, in the household of John & Rhoda Allen. I don't know if they are related. Also in the household are two of Henry's siblings: Joseph A. 22, and Adelaide I. 18. Josiah & Orvilla (Onilla?) Burbanks, ages 46 & 48, are also there.

    I have not been able to find the family in the 1870 census.
