  • Notes 
    • Joseph's death record says he died at age 56y 11 m 14d, and names his parents as Joseph and Polly.

      In the 1840 census Joseph and family are at Dartmouth, MA: 1 FWM 5-9, 1 FWM 20-29, 1 FWF <5, 1 FWF 20-29. One individual is "employed in the navigation of the ocean." I am assuming this family group included the first wife, Maria Hazard.

      In the 1850 census, the Joseph Rounds family is at Rehoboth, MA: Joseph 38 MA, Elisabeth 29 MA. Herbert F. 5 MA, Eugene B. 3 MA, Julia A. 10 mos.

      In the 1855 MA state census, the household at Rehoboth includes: Joseph 43, Elizabeth A. 31, Herbert A. 11, Eugene B. 9, Julia A. 6; also with them or next to them are Simeon and Nancy Rounds, ages 73 and 63. I have determined that this Simeon (1782-1860) is likely a son of Simeon (1755-1831, s/o Jabez and Renew) and Anna Rounds. It seems that Simeon Jr. was married two or three times, his first wife being Clarissa, by whom he had at least 5 daughters and two sons, one being Marcus T. Rounds b1805, the executor of Simeon's estate. The probate documents mention that his family property borders on that of Joseph Rounds in Rehoboth. However, I haven't found a close family connection, and I haven't researched Jabez yet.
