Joseph, son of Robert, Jr., and Ann*; m. 1690, Tabitha ___, and d. 1744. Children 1692-abt 1713: Tabitha, Elizabeth, Sarah, Abigail, Joseph, Samuel, Lydia, John, Martha, Isaac, Hepzibeth. [ref 34:57] *probable error - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Joseph Burnap birth 24 Mar 1663 Reading Middlesex /s of Robbart and Sarah [ref 76] Capt. Joseph Burnap death 19 Aug 1744 Reading Middlesex [ref 76] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - JOSEPH, born 24 Mar., 1663; died 19 Aug., 1744, aged about 81, Wakefield, Mass. In one record a Joseph is said to have died 19 June, 1675, but as will be seen below this Joseph certainly did not, and it looks like an error for 19 January, 1675, the date of Isaac's death. [ref 39:36] JOSEPH BURNAP, born 24 March, 1663 (Reading Town Records); married, 23 December, 1690 (Reading Town Records), which may be the date of the intention, if Bailey's Early Marriages is correct, as the date is there given as 31 January, 1690/1, and the intention is not in the records, Tabitha, born 21 March, 1674/5 (Reading Town Records), daughter of Jonathan (called John in the Town Records, but from the probate papers and birth records it would seem that Jonathan was correct) and Elizabeth (Kendall) Eaton of Reading. He was made a Freeman 18 April, 1691, and his name is among those of early settlers. Joseph Burnap, constable, testified (ae. 32), 25 October, 1694, in the case of Pudney and Hancock. (Records of the Supreme Judicial Court, 162,388.) His trade was that of a cooper, and, 22 March, 1713, he became town surveyor. Evidently he had served in this capacity earlier, as in Essex Deeds, vol. xiv, p. 177, we find: Lynn, 9 May, 1701, Captain John Burrill, Robert Potter, Samll. Johnson, appointed by the Selectmen of Linn to run ye Line between ye farme of Henry Rhodes Senior & ye Towne Common, ye sd. Rhodes likewife fent four men namely, Robert Coats, John Gaetland, Isaiah Hall & Joseph Burnet (sic) and they all met, etc. John Greenland, Isaiah Hall, Joseph Burnap, Robert Coates, his mark. Attest: 19 Sept., 1701. An original plan, signed by him in autograph, of a meadow in Reading, and dated 9 June, 1708, is among the Fowler Manuscripts in possession of the Essex Institute (vol. xxxvii). He is called "Joseph Burnap, Surveyor," at Haverhill, 20 December, 1718, and as "Captain Joseph Burnap" makes oath to a line 24 December, 1718. He is called Lieutenant as well as Captain, but records of his service have not been found. He was on a committee "to perambulate the line formerly Salem, but now Middleton," which committee met at the widow Philps' house in Reading, 4 December, 1729. In 1727 he assisted at the survey of Turkey Hills, near Woburn. In the Ministers' Rates for 1692 he is rated at 9/4 to show his relative pecuniary reputation. He and his wife were admitted to full communion, 3 January, 1720-21.

[ref 39:57] Joseph Burnap of Redding, cooper, appointed guardian unto Samuel Dutton (sic), a minor about 6, and Rebecca Dunton, a minor about 7, children of Samuel Dunton, late of Redding, and Ann his wife. 11 June, 1705. (Mddx. Probate Records, vol. xi, p. 11.) In 1730 Joseph Burnap was one of the signers of a petition to the General Court for setting off parts of Reading, Lynn and Andover to the First Parish to help support the Gospel in said precinct, but as Samuel Burnap was also on the same committee, it may be that it was Joseph, junior, who served with his brother. In 1737 Isaac Burnap and Captain Joseph Burnap entered dissent from the town's making any disposition of the common lands. The testimony of Joseph Burnap, aged about 67 years: "about twenty years agone I was desired by Captain Thomas Flint, deceased, to measure the farm that Samuel Hayward dwells on," etc. Joseph Burnap, Survr. (Mddx. Land Records, vol. xxxii, p. 315.) Joseph Burnap died 19 August, 1744 (Reading Town Records), his wife having departed 31 October, 1734 (Reading Town Records), in her 60th year, as her gravestone in the Town Burying Ground states. The will of Joseph Burnap: Joseph Burnap, 1744, 14 July, of Reading, gent., arrived at old age, but perfect disposing mind and memory, my executor to pay all debts, etc. To son Joseph Burnap the land he now liveth on which I purchased of Timothy Hartshorn and all that which I purchased of David Hartshorn, 2/3 of my right in Lobb's Pound saw-mill, 1/3 of my cedar swamp, also (personal effects).
