His application for the rev war pension gives his birth date and place and says he was a slave to the Browns in RI... that he served in the rev war to fill his master's son's place in a company when the son wanted to move to another unit of service, so Joe served the remainder of the son's enlistment.

So if he served with a RI unit and a Mass unit? or did the Mass unit include RI people?

read the traditional story of his life....

Marblehead Magazine Black Joe - Legend, Inc. Central www.legendinc.com/Pages/MarbleheadNet/MM/Articles/Black... Black Joe's grave lies in a hollow of Marblehead's Old Burial Hill where the winter snows drift deep, blanketing all but the carved eagle holding the banner that reads "Victory Peace."
