with other D.'s at G. � � * || JOSEPH, Roxbury, s. of Gov. Thomas. freem. 1672,
rep. 1673-5, ar. co. 1677, an Assist. 1676 to 85, made Presid. of the Cols.
of Mass. and N. H. 1686, had visit. Eng,. in 1682, was of Andros's counc. and
made Ch. Just. of an unconstitutional Sup. Court; after being long impris.
here, on the Revo. went in Feb. 1690 to Eng. but came back the same yr.
with commiss. as Ch. Just. of Mass. and was aft. Dep. Gov. of the Isle of
Wight under Lord Cutts, as Hutch. II. 86 shows, 8 yrs. and came home 1702,
with commiss. as Gov. wh. place he serv. until Nov. 1715, d. 2 Apr. 1720. Of
the charact. of so disting. a politician the lineaments will borrow colors
from the artist's pencil; yet that of Hutch. II. 213, 214, shows an honorab.
impartiality, especially when we reflect how he must have kn. the envenom.
hatred of his relat. the Mathers. Something darker is the portrait in
Bancroft, III. 100, but he may have mistak. the secret feeling of Dudley's
heart, and fell into wonderful error, when he closed the relation with
that sad retribut. "His grave is among strangers," for all Roxbury could
testify that his final resting place is close to that of his f. and that he
was bur. in his native town, where he passed the last eighteen yrs. of his
life. In later editions the historian struck out that clause of
malediction. His will of 27 Oct. 1719, ment. only two s. and bequeathes
"his body to be bur. with his f." His w. Rebecca, d. of Edward Tyng, had
Thomas, b. 26 Feb. 1670, bapt. next day, H. C. 1685, d. young; Edward, 4
Sept. 1671; Joseph, 8, bapt. 9 Nov. 1673; Paul, 3, bapt. 5 Sept. 1675, H. C.

Lucy Wainwright), and d. 21 Jan. 1751; Samuel, 7 Sept. 1677; John, 28 Feb.

Sewall; Catharine, 7 Jan., 1683, d. same day; Ann, 27, bapt. 31 Aug. 1684, m.

man of emin. speaker of the ho. mem. of his majesty's counc. f. of Thomas,
H. C. 1750, and of Joseph, H. C. 1751); Daniel, 4 Feb. 1689; Catharine, again,

m. 1 Jan. 1713, Francis Wainwright, and next, Joseph Atkins, and d. 19 Nov.
1774; and the wid. of the Gov. d. 21 Sept. 1722, aged 71. One of the most
curious combinat. in N. E. Hist. is detail. in his corresp. with Incr. and
Cotton Mather, 1708, for wh. see 1 Mass. Hist. Coll. III. 126-137. Both of
the rev. casuists display much shrewdness and more malignity. JOSEPH,
Guilford, s. of William, of the same, m. 6 Oct. 1670, Ann, d. of Thomas
Robinson, had Joseph, and Benjamin, tw. b. 17 June 1671; Caleb, 1673;
