" Joseph Halsey came from Southampton where, and in its vicinity, the family is largely represented at the present day. Joseph was the son of Isaac, and the grandson of Thomas, who was at Lynn, MA in 1637, and was the wealthiest founder of Southampton in 1640. Joseph was born about 1668, and bred a weaver. He was here in 1694. He lived in the neighborhood of the Wheatsheaf tavern on the Woodbridge road. He purchased of Derick, the son of Capt John Baker, "all the Divisions accruing to a second Lot Right in Elizabethtown." He was one of the Memorialists, and one of the Associates in 1700. He died April 1725."
