Notes

A deed at Plymouth, Massachusetts, dated 25 February 1800, shows where Josepth Macomber lived. 'Joseph Macomber and Elijah Macomber 2d and Abraham Miller and Thankful Miller his wife and Isaac Thomas 2d and Judith Thomas his wife and Olive Macomber, Loraney Macomber and Hannah Macomber, and all of the town of Middleborough - to William Rounsville of Middleborough certain property known as Assawampsett Neck, land we own as heirs to our deceased father Joseph Macomber by name, - all the aforsaid forty-fifth and forty-sixth lots we hold as heirs to our deceased mother Thankful Macomber by name,' to have and to hold, etc, -- 'and that part of the 28th and 29th lots of land that our deceased father holds by deed under the hand and seal of Benjamin Booth deceased.'

Joseph Macomber lived in that part of Middleborough which is now Lakeville, on a neck of land between two lakes. The house in which he and also his Joseph lived is still standing. He and his wife and daughter, Lurana (Sanderson), are buried in the 'Old Pond Cemetery,' on the broken and the inscription can not be read.

Joseph Macomber's children are recorded on the leaf of an old diary, still preserved and in the posession of the writer of this. The record seems to have been made by himself between the years 1780 and 1788. It may have been brought from Middleborough to Durham, Maine, in and old writing-desk still kept.
