"Another temporary proprietor of a public house was Joab Stafford, brother of the David Stafford already noticed, and seventh son of Col. Joab Stafford of Coventry, R. I., he came from Albany to Deerfield sometime previous to 1798. There he had a brewery, an ashery and a store, and there he married Hannah Biddlecom. In 1807 he succeeded Scott & Dexter as keeper of the House tavern in Utica. Next he began to manufacture tin and copperware, having a shop on the west side of the square, and a home in Seneca street. He was thus employed until his death, May 10, 1810, in his forty-fifth year. His children were Daniel, who followed him in copper-smithing; Isabella, first wife of Enos Brown; George, a hardware merchant in Geneva; and Hannah, wife of Rev. William B. Lacey, D. D., rector of St. Peter's Church in Albany." -- Moses M. Bagg, The Pioneers of Utica (1877), p. 253.
