John (2) PACKARD⁽²²⁹⁴⁾ was born on 20 May 1655 in Weymouth, MA.⁽²²⁹⁵⁾ Mitchell: Came with fau., mother . . ." from Windham, near Hingham, in England, in the ship called "The Diligent, of Ipswich, 133 passengers, John Martin, master," Mitchell: John (s. of Samuel) lived at S. B. near the bridge, which was called, after him, Packard's bridge, 1688, and since called Pope's bridge.

Weymouth births have him born there. see reference. He was Mentioned In Father's Will on 29 Nov 1684 in Plymouth, MA.⁽²²⁹⁶⁾ "unto my son John Packer" 70 acres in Bridgewater "on the Eastward side of the River; alsoe .... one lott of Meddow in "Meddow Called Poor Meddow Lying in the said Bridgwater, alsoe .... all my lott of Land att Teticut;"
He died on 16 Mar 1741 in Grave # 120.^{(2297) (2298) (2299)} To sort through the difficulties of the following notes, there are some things that can be said with a little certainty. Samuel1 had a son John. He is named in his father's will. This John2 with reasonable certainty had a wife Judith Winslow ( Taunton VR, Bridgewater VR). They had a son Joseph3 who settled his father's estate.

At this time there are several known 3rd generation Josephs: this Joseph3 and a son of Samuel2, who married Elizabeth Lathrop, name Joseph3. The Joseph3 who marries Susanna Mitchell has children with names that include Judith. The Joseph3 who marries Mary Harris does not, and child names reflect those of immediate ancestors. Mitchell attributes to a Joseph 4(Joseph3, John2), a son Winslow, who, indeed, though dying young, gives us a trace on this family..

All children herein listed are unsubstantiated , other than by specific mention in Mitchell's History of Bridgewater, who, in turn, may have relied on Savage. Various "bytes" of information have been found here and there, and are used as place keepers for the time being. Even child Joseph, whose birth date is nearly ten years after that of a supposed sister Mary is suspect, with few other children to be accounted for.

He was married to Judith WINSLOW on 12 Apr 1688 in Taunton, Bristol, MA.⁽²³⁰⁰⁾ It is interesting to note the age discrepancy in these two. If dates are correct, he was considerably older than she, both living long lives, but she outliving him by some 20 years. it does appear that he was unmarried at the time of his father's death in 1684, as no mention of wife or children are made for him, though several references are made to other children, their husbands and their children. See Samuel's will.

Most records are murky, non-existent or simply hints of actual dates and events. Most "evidence" presented here is circumstantial or seemingly logical, rather than having the clarity of a succession of probate, will, deed, birth and death records that would permit irrevocable proofs. Problematic areas, where absolute proof is desired include:

Judith Winslow (Packard) (John2, Sam1)

Who was her father, and is she a legitimate Mayflower descendant via Judith Winslow, John Winslow2 and his second marriage to Judith ________, as is recorded, in several prominent genealogical references, but also contested by good authority. (See Winslow notes)

Temperance Packard:

Her parentage, nor actually that of assumed siblings, Winslow, Timothy, etc. has never been irrevocably proved. To date, there are no birth records or other legal proceeding in hand which clearly ties her to Joseph Packard and Sarah Johnson, but numerous clues, early family notes and some evidence seem to strongly conclude that she was the daughter of Joseph Packard and Sarah Johnson of Bridgewater and Brookfield.

Family Notes:

In the late 1800's, a Temperance Bruce Edson, a family ancestor, recalled personal knowledge of Sarah, whom she called Elizabeth and references both her marriage to Joseph and the birth of their dau. Temperance in 1749. See photo scan. Also see notes on dau. Temperance.

Birth &Marriage: Joseph Packard and Sarah Johnson

Their known birth and marriage dates are recorded as indicated. The marriage of Joseph Packard to Sarah Johnson is recorded in the Bridgewater VR, and in several other genealogies such as the Capt John Johnson volume and the Packard genealogy by Charles Wight . Both of these, however, seem to rely on Mictchell's account of the Packard families which may contain an error.

Mitchell & Possible Error:

Mitchell, (admittedly confused) I believe, perpetuates an inaccuracy as it relates to this family.

Mitchell, believes Joseph4, son of Joseph3 and Susannah Mitchell Packard [John2, Sam1] rem. to Brookfield, had a son Winslow who went to Dartmouth. This concurs with what we believe (with evidence) to be true.

Then, however, admitting confusion he gives our Joseph's wife, Sarah, to [Joseph4, Joseph3, Samuel2, Samuel1] as well as a set of unknown children (Daniel, Abigail, etc.) as I shall attempt to illustrate.

Joseph Packard [Joseph4, Joseph3, Samuel2, Samuel1] & Abigail Alger:

Joseph4, son of Joseph and Mary Harris, instead of marrying Sarah, I believe, married Abigail Alger of Easton. There is a marriage of Joseph Packard to Abigail Alger recorded in the Bridgewater VR who marries in the same year as Joseph and Sarah, but a month or so apart, she being noted as of Easton. Mitchell says this Joseph dies in Easton of unknown date. One of the children named by Mitchell in his history and in his confusion over the marriages of the two Josephs is Abigail, a clue; another, Daniel, the name of this Joseph's older brother. In general, child names bear little relationship to those names found in our Joseph Packard ancestral branch, as we shall see.

Joseph Packard [John2, Sam1] & Susannah Mitchell

This Joseph, father of Joseph and Sarah, was a descendant of John Packard who married Judith Winslow, with Susannah being a descendant of Experience Mitchell (of the Francis Cooke line through his first wife Jane, but excluding, it is believed, Susannah who was a descendant of a second marriage. In any event, she and Joseph expectedly bestow child names indicating possible heritage, such as Parnel (Parnel Winslow), John, (John Packard or Winslow), Judith, (Judith Winslow), Joseph (Father), Susannah, (Mother).

Joseph Packard [Joseph3, John2, Sam1] & Sarah Johnson

Following a similar tradition, among Joseph and Sarah's attributed children we see the names Winslow, Susannah and Sarah, Timothy ( as in Mitchell). Temperance and Levi, however, seem to have no immediately apparent ancestral antecedent.

John Bruce and Temperance Packard

Of significance, however, in determining the parentage of Temperance Packard who marries John Bruce, child names nearly replicate those of Joseph and Sarah Packard: Winslow, Levi, Packard and Timothy, for example.

Tracing the lives of Joseph and Sarah Packard:

There is precious little information about their lives to be found. If they indeed lived in Brookfield, this was an outpost town and records, such as those to be found in Bridgewater, for example, were lacking. No children, save Sarah, a young daughter, born in 1772 and dying at age 8; the marriage of Temperance, Timothy, and a Captain Joseph Packard called for military purpose in 1775, ever even indicates their presence there. Nor do we know when they removed to Brookfield, nor how long they stayed, other than by deduction.

Though Temperance marries John Bruce in Brookfield in 1772, and a sister is born in this year (Brookfield VR) , in an inhabitants' list of 1750 for Brookfield, there is no mention of Joseph, nor Sarah, nor any other Packards other than widow Hannah Pickard ( likely the wife of Daniel4 who has several children recorded) and a Jonathan Pickard. The Bruces are there by now, however, including John, Charles, Jonas, Antipas. Potters included Daniel, Theophilus, Silas. and Lt. John Potter.

So when did Sarah and Joseph remove to Brookfield? If he and brother John came together, as Mitchell seems to suggest, it may not have been until about 1760 when John marries Anna Pratt. Where did they live in the interim: Bridgewater? Easton? Or were they actually in Brookfield? The records seem simply non-existent, or by now destroyed. 1760 would have been some 12 years after John and Sarah married. No identifiable children are recorded in Bridgewater thus far for these two. Nor are the parent's deaths anywhere recorded, thus found.

To date the facts and logic, with reservations, are:

Joseph married Sarah in 1748. They removed to Brookfield aft. 1750 and had several, even perhaps, many children. They were there in 1772, 1780, as a child is born 1772 and dies abt 1780, Temperance is married to John Bruce in Brookfield 1772/3, and Winslow, via other documentation, is a Dartmouth graduate and pastor, marries an Abigail Moore and dies young, about 32.

Joseph is mentioned in 1775 in Brookfield as being "Captain" and one of those called upon to enlist the men (Temple). So at this time he still apparently resided Brookfield and would have been about 50-52 years of age. By 1790, according to the census of this year, there are no Packards identified as being in Brookfield.

Packard, Joseph, Brookfield.Lieutenant; list of officers in service at Dobbs's Ferry, Tarrytown, and North Castle, N. Y., in 1776, endorsed “Commission Officers in Colo. Jam's [Converse's] Rig't.”

In information recently discovered, by about 1805 Sarah is possibly a widow and in New Salem with her son Timothy, called Deacon. She perhaps dies there, or removes to Monson at or about this time. When Deacon Timothy and Betty are dismissed to Monson, Sarah is not again mentioned in the adjoining or available church records. Another Winslow Packard is present in New Salem, at this time, and he also shortly removes to Monson with wife Rachel. This Winslow Packard is likely a son of Timothy's, named for Timothy's brother, Winslow, by now deceased.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of interest is the wide gap in noted births between the attributed children of Joseph, and Sara, born early in their marriage (abt 1749-55) and the only other identified child not born until 1772-- leaving some twenty years between the earlier children and Sarah. Surely there were other children! If the first few child records were correct, she was having children every few years, typical of the period. As she was apparently only 16 when married, she could have had 10 or more children prior to mid-age, as she was successfully birthing children early on.

The Genealogy

+Sorry I couldn't find the parents to Temperance Packard. The name doesn't appear in any of the Packard or Bruce genealogies at NEHGS. didn't look in their manuscript collection though. The two best sources I found were the vital records of Brookfield to 1850 and the Packard genealogy (1952 edition) by Charles Wight. The following is a tabulation of what is in both of them for Brookfield Packards [brackets indicate the info came from the Packard typescript, and I believe his source was mostly Mitchell's History of Bridgewater].

According to Mitchell, Chloe (dau of Edward4. Joseph3, John2, Samuel 1) also moved to Brookfield, b. btw 1757-1764. (Personal note: David, who m. second wife, Parnell is the brother of Sarah Johnson.

Joseph PACKARD⁽²³⁰⁸⁾ was born between 1699 and 1704 in Bridgewater, MA ?.⁽²³⁰⁹⁾ Joseph is the only specific child mentioned by Nahum Mitchell for John. His birthdate is speculative, supposing that he would be about age 20 when marrying.

Dartmouth 1777, and settled in the ministry. . .It is difficult to distinguish this family from that of Joseph (8), and there may be some confusion in the accounts here given." Either Mitchell or Savage says that Joseph settled his old father's estate.

In West Bridgewater Births we find the following:
