"Joseph was a wheelwright by trade, and first settled in Marlboro', where most of his children were born. Subsequently he lived in Stow, Sterling, West Boylston, Sutton, and Grafton. These changes were advisable in order to procure employment for his large and growing family. There were cotton factories at these places, and it was customary for young people to work in them nine months of the year, the remaining three being spent in school."[2]
