394. Dea. Joseph

on 6 Aug 1755 in Coventry, Tolland County, Connecticut. He died on

Joseph, son of Joseph Talcott and Eunice Lyman, of Coventry,
was born in Coventry, Aug. 6, 1755, married Rebecca, daughter of William

Dea. Joseph Talcott died in Coventry, June 8, 1826. Rebecca, his
widow, died in Coventry, Dec. 22, 1843.
Dea. Talcott inherited from his father considerable land on what was
known as "Pond Hill," in the town of Coventry, and by thrifty management
soon added to his possessions until he owned not less than 350 acres. For many
years he was Justice of the Peace, and noted for strict probity in that office.
He was early elected Deacon of the Second Congregational Church, of Coventry,
and held the office until Dec. 8, 1822, and it speaks much for the care with
which he trained his family to say that three of his sons became deacons of the
same church, and a fourth son was a clergyman, and a daughhter became the wife
of a deacon in the first parish of the same town. He settled his sons upon farms
from his own acres, and like Job of old he gave his daughters "inheritance
among their bretheren." He died as he had lived in the Christian faith. Dea.
