Notes

About 1714, Joshua Sears built and lived in the old house in West Brewster, at Bound Brook, nearly opposite the ancient Sears buring ground; and here in the SE corner room the first seven of his children, including Isaac Sears, the famous "Liberty Boy" of the Revolutionary period, were born. He removed to Norwalk, CT, about the year 1734, (not 1724, as stated in Sears Genealogy) and was dismissed from the church in Har., to Ch. Norwalk, Mar 28 1736. His estate in Har.was sold to Willard Sears of Yarmouth, and is still in pos- session of some of his descendants. It was occupied until 1880, by Miss Vienna Sears, and has since been renovated, and additions made thereto. In 1732, Joshua Sears purchased of his brother-in-law, Josiah Thacher, Jr., one acre of the so-called "Home Lot", situated on Washington Avenue, South Norwalk, and marked on the plan in Hall's "Norwalk" with the names of C. Raymond and W. Raymond; and in the house which he built upon htis spot he lived until his death in 1752. The house of Mrs. Charles Raymond, his great-gr-dau., had for foundation stone those taken from the old homestead. The thacher house stood where the Pottery is marked on Hall's map. Joshua Sears possessed other lands in Norwalk, which at various times he deed- ed to his children; amongst which was land at "Old Well", now South Norwalk, tos his sons Nathaniel and Joshua. Family tradition relates that he was an excellent man, a prominent citizen, occupying various positions in the gift of the town, a good husband and a gen- erous father. He was buried in Pine Island Cemetery, a blue stone marking his grave; - near by is a similar memorial to his son Nathaniel, and a nameless mound between father and son, is probably the grave of the wife and mother. His will, dated June 11, 1754, was proved OCtober 15, 1754, and mentions wife Mary; and children, Josiah, Mary Ketchum, Phebe Squires, Joshua, Isac, John and Anthony; and grand-sons, NAthaniel and Thacher. The estate was appraised at L 1640. In the "Sears Gen'y," his wife is erroneously stated to have been Mercy, dau. of John Thacher. I find no record of her death, but her estate was adm. upon by her son Isaac, July 25, 1761.

Notes

!S.P. May p.137/8 Joshua Sears removed to Middletown, CT, with his parents in 1746, and later to Sandisfield, MA, where he was one of the earliest settlers. "He enlisted in the old French war, and joined the expedition commanded by Abercrombie, against Ticonderoga and Crown Point, then in possession of the French under Montcalm. "Abercrombie without waiting for his artillery, made a brave but imprudent assault upon the fortress of the former place. The result was disastrous. His troops were mowed down in ranks before the guns of the fort. Sears used to describe the horrors of the carnage, and his own wonderful preservation. Three times we marched up in front of those guns, and each time, the men on my right, and my left, were cut down, and I was left standing alone. The hardships of the campaign were great, but he survived them, and returned to Sandisfield, but died in middle life in consequence of them.
