Died of Carbon Monoxide accumulation in house.
Joseph was a farmer or husbandman all his life. His descendants were still attending the same Meeting House in 1952 (3).
David Cragg, son of Timothy of Greenbank Farm in Upper Wyresdale , noted in his Diary that a Burial Note was sent to John Procter the grave maker to prepare a grave in the Wyresdale Friends Burial Ground. About fifty people attended the funeral of Joseph Kelsall including Molly Pye. (Molly or Mary Pye was David's intended wife despite family opposition because she was a Methodist and the family were Friends!). William Jepson preached at the funeral. It was the local custom for the family of the deceased to go round the locality inviting people to attend the funeral.
Joseph died on March 31st 1802 at the age of twenty-three, having never married.
