52 ANCESTORS IN 52 WEEKS 2019 WEEK 46: JOSEPH WILLARD OF HARVARD, MA

My 7x great grandfather Joseph Willard was born around 1686 in Lancaster, Ma. and married  Elizabeth Tarbell around 1711.  He and several of his brothers were among the first settlers of a section of Lancaster that eventually became the town of Harvard, Ma.  He held several town offices and had a farm as well He and Elizabeth had seven children, all but one born in Lancaster and three of whom married members of the Haskell family:

William was born in 1713
Tarbell was born in 1719
Sybil was born on 19Feb, 1723
Lemuel was born on 28iJul, 1725
Joseph was born on 17May , 1728,
Amee was born on 25Dec, 1730
Charles was born on30 Dec 1734

Joseph died on 30Jul 1761 at Harvard. I have found no probate record for him as of yet.

I'm descended from his daughter Sybil who married Samuel Haskell, Sr.
