REV. JOSEPH LORD

(copy of a letter from Rev. Joseph Lord to Judge Samuel Sewall, of Boston, from the original in possession of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society.)

Honoured Sir,
This comes wth thanks for ye letter I received from you, bearing Date, Feb. 6th 1705/6, & for ye prints you sent me; all we received, except ye Elegy in Obitum Crucis, we I cannot find among ye other Papers, The Books inititled, Baptistes, I suppose to be exceeding usefull for ye recovery & settlemt of such as are wavering in that point. Mr Adams being in Charlestown wn I received ym of Capt Belcher, I delivered those wc yor Honor so ordered to him presently; & soon heard, an enquiry aftr those books concerning Baptism was made by some yt had been staggering, who say some of them yt I had delivered to him we has occasioned ye Dispersion of almost half ye Hundred already.

" Joseph Lord, was the leader of one such expedition [from Mass. to South Carolina] as its minister. He led a group from Dorchester, MA in 1696 to a place that they named Dorchester, S.C. Included in that group was his aunt Susannah Osgood and her husband John. They were both born in Ipswich but were living in Andover when they left." http://www.bwlord.com/

Notes
General:
Was a physician, settled in Sunderland about 1728, and the town made him some grants of land. He was a Justice of the Peace in the new town; married April 22, 1728, Sarah Rand, perhaps to Brookfield (Sunderland, 1899)

"Following his graduation from Harvard College in 1726, Joseph Lord practiced medicine for a time in Sunderland, Mass., being the first resident physician in that town. He was one of the first five settlers of Athol, coming here on September 17, 1735, and locating on the east side of Pleasant Street just north of Ellinwood Country Club. For more than a score of years he was the leading and dominating individual in this outpost of civilization, being the first doctor, preacher, magistrate, treasurer, tax collector, and surveyor. Not only did he as a physician minister to his neighbors' physical needs but as Proprietors Clerk he was in charge of the records showing the various allotments of land, and it was he who penned the various petitions and complaints filed with the Great and General Court.
"After the organization of the First Church, of which he does not appear ever to have been a member, and the Rev. Mr. Humphrey was settled her, Dr. Lord was for some years the supply pastor in Templeton, journeying there on horseback whenever the call came for his services.
"In 1758 he summarily left Pequoig, following a disagreement with the Proprietors, going to Putney, Vermont where he lived for about 30 years, holding high and responsible positions. Although in 1772 he desired to retire from public office, he was prevailed upon to continue in limited service, which he did until the Crown of Great Britain was no longer recognized as having authority. In that momentous upheaval Dr. Lord, like most men who held positions of honor under the Colonial Government, remained loyal to the King, but no records exist of his ever having been molested or persecuted in any way because of his loyalty.
"Coincident with the close of the War for Independence, Dr. Lord removed to Westmoreland, New Hampshire, where he died at the age of eighty four years, his wife surviving him by ten years."
