    "13. Capt. Joseph Trowbridge (Daniel9, Thomas4, Thomas2, Thomas1), born June 15, 1736, in New Haven, Conn.; died December 17, 1790 (by gravestone), in Savannah, Ga.; … Joseph Trowbridge was graduated from Hopkins Grammar School, New Haven, in 1750. He made his home in his native town. He was a mariner and a merchant, of the firm of Robert Townsend & Co., with an office on Long wharf. In the early period of the devolution he was chosen on the committee of inspection December 11, 1775, and was active in the patriot cause. He was elected a selectman of the town in 1779. He died on one of his voyages, while at Savannah, Ga. His gravestone in that city describes him as 'A citizen much respected for probity and integrity. He sustained a long decline of health with calmness and resignation. Having maintained a reverence for the principles and maxims of the Christian religion, he died in a good hope of future happiness, through the merits of the Redeemer.' In the inventory of his estate is included a quarter interest in the brig James."
