James Sanders, Sen., sold to Joseph Whittier fifty acres of land in Haverhill for thirty-five pounds. The deed conveying the same, "Whittier affirms was burnt up in the fire when Joseph Peaslee's house was burnt down;" and Sanders, "according to rules of justice and equity," renewed the deed, which was recorded in 1708. As the town gave Joseph Peaslee his rates, in the year 1700, as he "had suffered considerable loss by fire," it is probable that then the house containing Joseph Whittier's deed was destroyed. In regard to the location of this house of Joseph Peaslee, and upon which of his many tracts of land it stood, the records do not testify. The land bought by Whittier was "bounded upon a brook at East meadow." In 1730 Green Whittier, son of Joseph and Mary, was one of twelve men who petitioned the town for liberty to pay their minister's rates in Amesbury, instead of Haverhill. Ten of the other names were those of men known to have been living near the Peaslees. The children of Joseph and Mary (Peaslee) Whittier were: Elizabeth, Green, Joseph, Ruth, Richard, Ebenezer, Hannah, Susanna, and Joseph. [ref 91:19-20]

Mary Peaslee, born July 14, 1672 Salisbury, daughter of Joseph, son of Joseph, married Joseph Whittier May 24, 1694 and was the great-grandmother of John Greenleaf Whittier. In "The Life and Letters of John Greenleaf Whittier," by Samuel T. Pickard, the author says of Joseph, the youngest son of Thomas and Ruth (Green) Whittier, he "married, in 1694, Mary Peasley, grand-daughter of Joseph Peasley, the leading Quaker of the town. The house of Joseph Peaslee, Jr., the father of Mary, was built of brick brought from England, and is still standing near Rocks Village, in the East Parish. It was used as a garrison house in the French and Indian wars." From the same author we learn that after the death of his parents, Joseph Whittier purchased, of his brothers and sisters, the greater part of the estate which had been divided among the ten children. He and his wife Mary lived on the homestead, in the house built by Thomas Whittier in 1688. They had nine children. Joseph was born May 8, 1669. He died December 25, 1739. It appears that, in the first years of their married life, they lived elsewhere. [ref 91:9,19]
