    "(VI) Joseph, son of Taylor and Thankful (Ridley) Small, was born, as the old records quaintly state, "in the latter end of August, 1748," at Truro, Massachusetts, and died at Bowdoin, Maine, February 13, 1831, aged eighty-three years. He moved to Bowdoin at an early date, and entered most heartily into the pioneer work which was thus involved in his going to a place where wild beasts were many and the settlers were few. Before his death he had become the possessor of a farm that was the pride of people for miles around. He was a man of very honest, upright character, and his descendants are famed for their skillful energy and trustworthiness. Joseph Small married, March 29, 1773, at Great Island, Harpswell, Maine, Jemima, daughter of Joshua Purington. Their children were: Joshua, born 1774; Anna, 1776; Taylor, 1778; Joshua, 1780, a noble pioneer settler in Ohio; Mary, 1783; Lois, 1785; John, June 12, 1788, and Hannah, 1789."
