Otis Family in America, p. 87 #80

Joseph moved to Richmond, MA, where he died about 1793. It has also been reported that afterwards Whitestown, N.Y. was his home, where he likewise died about 1793, but as there is [at least at present] no town by this name in N.Y. state, this statement is open to question.

He was noted for going to sleep in his wagon and other places. He sometimes fell asleep while smoking; so often breaking his pipe in this way that he procured one made of iron. It was told of him by Dr. Watson of Colchester that when at church one Sunday, the semon happening to be long than usual, he took out a doughnut, and while in the act of biting it, fell asleep. His head fell back with the cake protruding from his mouth, and he was an object of great merriment.

On 17 March 1704/1705 Israel, Ephraim, David and Hezekiah divided the land given them by their father Major William Bradford, all signing, and acknowledging their signatures 15 December 1713. The deed was not recorded until 24 November 1732 (Plymouth County Deeds, 27:155). It seems unlikely that David was less than 18 at the time he signed the deed, and he was probably 21 when he acknowledged it, indicating that he was born 1687 or earlier. The same reasoning is used for Hezekiah, below, making both men about 30 when they married, which was not unusual for that period.
