| Notes for Lt. Joseph DOWSE | ||||||||||
| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - JOSEPH, Charlestown, b. 1654, m. 11 July 1678, Mary, d. of John George, had Joseph, Lawrence, Margery, Mary, Elizabeth, and Alice [ref 20] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - JOSEPH2 DOWSE (LAWRENCE1), born in Charlestown, Mass., about 1654, died there, 13 Mar. 1694. He married in Charlestown, 11 July 1678, MARY GEORGE, baptised there, 15 Apr. 1677, death unknown but probably about 1694, daughter of JOHN and ELIZABETH (___) GEORGE. Joseph Dowse was a carpenter. In the birth records of his children he is called "Lieutenant," so he probably held that office in the military company of Charlestown. He served in King Philip's War under Captain Moseley, 10 Dec. 1675, receiving on 24 June 1676, �2 14s. 10d., for his services. He was in garrison at Billerica, 30 Nov. 1675, receiving �2 14s. pay. His name, spelt Douss, appears in an assignment of wages, 24 Aug. 1676, in which his brothers, Nathaniel "Dowse" and John "Douss," also appear. Land granted him in Narragansett, No. 2 (Westminster), was given his daughter Margery in 1733. Joseph Dowse was only about forty when he died. It seems probable that his wife died about the time her youngest child was born. She releases her dower in two deeds before that time but fails to do so a couple of months after Alice's birth.
