    • Joseph and his wife were Quakers.

      "Bethia, although a Quaker, on the morning of April 19, 1775, when the company of soldiers formed in line before marching to Lexington, made a large arch kettle of coffee and took it to the company with bread and other food. The spot where they formed was in front of her house, where the monument now stands, which was erected to the memory of those who fell that day, one of whom was George Southwick, aged 25. On a marble slab on this monument is recorded the names of the seven men from Danvers who fell at the battle of Lexington, April 19, 1775." [2]
