"11. Joseph Trowbridge (Joseph8, Thomas4, Thomas2, Thomas1), born February 20, 1742-3, in New Haven. Conn.; died January 9, 1793, in New Haven (By First Church Records); married December 10, 1766, in New Haven, Sarah Sabin, daughter of Col. Hezekiah and Mercy (By gravestone; Mary by New Haven Town Records) (Power) Sabin, born July 20, 1745, in New Haven; died in July, 1804, in Colebrook, Conn. Joseph Trowbridge prepared for college at Hopkins Grammar School, New Haven, and was graduated from Yale College in 1763. He lived for a time in Southington, then a parish in the town of Farmington, Conn. He soon returned to his native place and resided in his fathers house on Water street, near the corner of Meadow street. He had no occupation and lived in considerable luxury until the impairment of his fortune compelled him to reduce his expenses and he then removed to a less pretentious building on Grove street, where he died (Dexter's "Biographical Sketches and Annals of Yale College." vol. 2.). After his death his widow and children removed to Colebrook, Conn., where the family of the Rev. Dr. Jonathan Edwards, the husband of her sister, resided."
