  1. 1.  Joseph Merriam was born in 1600 in Tonbridge, Kent, England; died on 1 Jan 1641 in Concord, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Arrival: 1638, Charlestown, Suffolk, Massachusetts, USA
    • Residence: 14 Mar 1639, , , Massachusetts, USA

    Notes:

    Joseph was probably born in Tudeley in the County of Kent in England, around 1600. His parents were William Merriam and Sarah Burgess. He married Sarah Goldstone about 1623, probably in Tudeley. He followed his father in the business of being a clothier, and obviously was successful.

    He formed a partnership to charter a ship and take freight and passengers to New England. Joseph, Sarah and their five children also sailed on that ship, the "Castle" of London, which arrived in Charlestown in July 1638. They settled in Concord, joined the church, and Joseph was admitted as a freeman. Joseph's life in New England was very brief, however, for he died on January 1, 1640/1.

    His will, which was written on December 29, shows his thoughtful, businesslike mind. His oldest son had not yet reached legal age, so he charged his brother and two of the leading citizens of the town with carrying out his plans for his family. He is buried in the Old Hill Burying Ground in Concord. His widow later married Joseph Wheeler of Concord. She died in Concord in 1671.

    Joseph married Sarah Goldstone in 1623 in Tudeley, Kent, England. Sarah (daughter of John Goldstone and Frances Jeffrie) was born in 1602 in Tonbridge, Kent, England; died on 12 Mar 1671 in Concord, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA; was buried in Concord, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA.
