Memoir of the life and character of Mrs. Mary Anna Boardman: with a ...
By John Frederick Schroeder
6. JOSEPH. He " appears to have been born after the will of his father was made," (1619,) who " provided for him by a codicil."* He was for thirty-nine years, 1679-1718, Treasurer of the colony ; for twenty-one years, 1725-1746, a member of the General Assembly ; and for twelve years, 1732-1744, one of the Judges of the colony. When James II of England sncceeded to the British throne, in 1685, his lawless and cruel condnct toward the colonies led a Special Assembly of Connecticut to appoint (1680) Mr. Whiting their agent, to repair to England, and endeavor to preserve the colony's chartered rights. This he did, mnch to the satisfaction of his constituents ;t and, in the reign of William and Mary, he cooperated with Mr. Increase Mather, in effecting a renewal of the charter, to the colony's great joy.f [I thought this Mr. Whiting was the oldest brother William.]
