- 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.
