Joseph Kimball
(Richard, Benjamin, Samuel, Samuel)

Joseph was born in Plaistow, NH  on September 10, 1749 and died in Whitefield, NH on October 27, 1821.

He married on December 29, 1780 to Eunice Gallup.  She died on December 25, 1795, and was buried in the Gallup cemetery at North Hartland, VT.

He married, 2nd, about 1800 to Lucy Holt.

He enlisted in 1776 in Col. Baldwin's Regiment.  He was in the Canada expedition under Capt. Wyman.  He was at the Battle of White Plains. 

He was among the first settlers of Whitefield, going there in 1796.  He assisted in organizing the town government in 1805, and was the first Town Clerk.  he also served on the first board of Selectmen.  He was a well educated man and was a Col. in the NH Militia.

The administration of his father's estate shows that he resided in Plainfield in 1789.  There is considerable difficulty in keeping his history distinct from that of Joseph Kimball.  They were both living in Plainfield at the same time and both prominent citizens.  Some of the accounts say that he was born in CT, and otherwise mix him up very thoroughly with the other Joseph.
