- (Research):JOSEPH' CHURCHILL (JOHN1). Born in Plymouth, 1647.
He lived on the farm first owned by his father. Some time before
1700 he built the house which is still standing on the easterly side
of the curve in the road opposite the "Sandy Gutter Road."
Little is preserved of his life.
The following extract from Davis's "Landmarks of Plymouth,"
page 346, will throw some light upon his outward conditions :
It will be remembered that the southerly line of the mile-and-21-half tract
was bounded by the farm of Joseph Churchill, lying on the southerly side of
Wellingsley. This farm extended from Obcrry or Woeberry, as it was sometimes
called in the early records, across the Chiltonville road near Sandy Gutter,
to the harbor, and was owned first by John Churchill, the progenitor of the
Churchill family, and afterward by his son Joseph. The house, built by Joseph
Churchill before 1700, is still standing, on the easterly side of the curve in the
road opposite the Sandy Gutter road. The house, with the land immediately
surrounding it, was sold, in 1715, by Joseph Churchill to his son Barnabas.
Lemuel Churchill, son of Barnabas, sold a part of the estate to Thomas Faunce,
who sold it, in 1767, to Jonathan Churchill, by whom it was sold in the same
year to John Faunce. In 1773 Charles Churchill and his wife Sarah, who had
acquired an interest in the estate through her first husband, Isaac Churchill, son
of Barnabas, sold the other part to John Faunce, making him the owner of the
whole.
Passing through several hands, in 1822 the house was bought by
Freeman Morton, and Mr. Davis continues,
At the time of its purchase by Mr. Morton the shape and character of the
house were ancient. Its roof was afterwards raised by him, the chimney
reconstructed, and the modern expression given to its exterior which it now
wears. Its interior, however, still bears the marks of extreme age, and is worthy
of a visit by the antiquarian. It is now (1883) owned by Alvin G. Morton. son
of Freeman, who remembers the Dutch oven it once had, with its opening in the
yard, covered by a small shed-like structure protecting it from exposure.
JOSEPH2 CHURCHILLmarried at Plymouth, June 3, 1672, SARAH
HICKS, daughter of Samuel and Lydia (Deane) Hicks, and granddaughter
of Robert Hicks, the first settler of the name.
