Damaris, baptized September 1, 1717, mar- ried Jonathan Carter ; died July, 1801.
(IV) John Joslin, son of Peter Joslin (3), baptized at Lancaster, December 10, 1710, died later than August 25, 1779. He settled in that part of Lancaster, now Leominster. He held many town offices-selectman, asses- sor 1748 ; surveyor of highways, 1757, tything- man, 1758, also in 1763. He was active in the church, and his name appears among those attached to the remonstrance against the dis- mission of the Rev. John Rogers as minister. From several deeds executed in 1779 to vari- ous members of his family, the consideration of which is "love and affection," and from the fact that he left no will, it may be presumed that he disposed of his estate largely before he died. No mention was made in these transac- tions of his wife, so that probably he was a widower at that time. He married, July 4, 1733. Lucy Wilder, at Lancaster, Joseph Wil- der. Esquire, officiating.

He lived on the estate in the southerly part of Leominster now owned by the town. He pur- chased the land from the heirs of Edward Phelps. He erected a large two-story house which was standing at the time the town of Leominster bought the premises, but was soon afterwards destroyed by fire. He served in the revolution as a private in Captain Elias Pratt's company at Rutland from April to July, 1779. He was sixteen years old at the time. In early manhood he met with an acci- dent which seriously affected him for the re- mainder of his life.

(VII) Elias Joslin, son of Elias Joslin (6), was born November 10, 1795. When he was a young man he entered the employ of Deacon William Burrage, of Leominster, who was a tanner and currier by trade, and became engaged to his daughter. Polly Burrage. She died of consumption before the wedding, and in an oral will left one hundred dollars to Elias Joslin. He afterwards married Eliza- beth Stearns, foster daughter of Deacon Bur- rage, April II, 1819; she was born Novem- ber 17, 1799, daughter of Levi and Elizabeth Stearns, of Lunenburg, and died January 24, 1885. Elias Joslin, Jr., did not like the trade of a tanner, and with the assistance of Deacon Burrage purchased the farm in Leominster known afterwards as "Sheldon Hill." In a short time his father gave him about one hun- dred acres of land near his own farm. The old house on the place was replaced by a new one, and nearly all his children were born there. He resided there until 1844 when he purchased his father's farm, his father at that time having been dead twenty years. His sis- ter Dorothy's husband, Thomas Merriam, had been the owner of this farm meanwhile; he had improved it greatly, and had erected sev- eral shops in which he manufactured combs of horn. When Elias Joslin became old and infirm the place was sold to the town of Leo- minister. He was a successful farmer and a prominent man. He was a member of the Leominster artillery company, and was called into service in 1812. He was then seventeen years old. He served three months at South Boston. Ile continued in the militia for sev- eral years and became major of the regiment in which the artillery company belonged. Ile was a Whig and later a Republican, and was a strong believer in good government. He and his family were members of the old First Church at Leominster.

He received his education in the common and high schools, attending until he was sixteen years of age, when he left the parental roof and located in Worcester, Massachusetts, where he entered the employ of B. L. Hardon & Company, deal- ers in dry goods, remaining as clerk until twenty-one years of age. About this time George Hamlin, who was associated with the firm of B. L. Hardon & Company, removed to Norwich, Connecticut, and engaged in the same business there, in the fall of 1860, and he took young Joslin into his employ. He remained with him until April, 1861, when he returned to Worcester, where he was lieuten- ant in the Worcester City Guards, he having joined this company when seventeen years of age, and in 1860 having been elected lieuten- ant of the company. This company ( Third Battalion Rifles) was under Major Charles Devens (later General Devens) ; left Worces- ter, April 20, 1861, going by boat to Annapo- lis, Maryland, reporting to General B. F. But- ler ; remained four weeks and then ordered to Fort McHenry, Baltimore, Maryland, where remained three months on duty. The battal- ion was then mustered out of service. George C. Joslyn then returned to Worcester, where he immediately joined the Fifteenth Regiment Volunteer Infantry, under Colonel Devens. He was appointed captain of a company from Webster. Massachusetts, and the regiment proceeded to Washington, where it remained a month, thence to Poolesville, Maryland, where he remained during the fall and winter of 1861, and participated in the battle of Ball's Bluff. The regiment then went to Harper's Ferry and Winchester, Virginia, counter- marching to Harper's Ferry and to Washing-
ton, where the regiment was sent to Yorktown, Virginia, and placed in the Second Army Corps, Second Division, First Brigade, and was through the Peninsula campaign under General George B. McClellan, and Antietam, September 17, 1862. While under fire at Antietam he received a wound and came to Baltimore, where he was under treatment two weeks, and then returned to Worcester, Mass- achusetts. Here he received a commission of major. He soon returned to his regiment at Falmouth, Virginia, near Fredericksburg, Maryland, and was engaged in the three days battle of Gettysburg. His colonel, George H. Ward, being killed the second day, Lieutenant- Colonel Joslin succeeded to the command, and was commissioned colonel by Governor An- drew, July 4, 1863, after which he was ordered to Long Island, Boston Harbor, to report to General Devens, who on account of disability was for a time placed in charge of the ren- dezvous of drafted recruits. After some weeks Lieutenant-Colonel Joslin returned to his regi- ment and was engaged in the Mine Run engagement, where he was taken prisoner, sent to Libby Prison, Richmond, Virginia, remain- ing there five months, then transferred to Macon, Georgia, was there a short time, thien sent to Charleston, South Carolina, with fifty others of the highest ranking officers of the Union prisoners, to stop the shelling of the city by Union forces, remained there about six weeks, and was exchanged, after eight months' imprisonment. Lieutenant - Colonel Joslin reported to the war department at Washington, seeking to continue in service, his regiment having finished its term of ser- vice. His final order from the department was to proceed to the nearest mustering officer for muster-out, in compliance with which he was discharged from service in October, 1-864.
He returned to Worcester, Massachusetts, and that fall removed to Chicago, Illinois, accompanied by his wife, and entered into the wholesale business of upholstered furniture with Henry S. Carter, under the firm name of Joslin, Carter & Company. At the expiration of one year they admitted a partner and thus continued for two years, after which Mr. Joslin disposed of his interest to his partners and entered the same line with Theodore F. Swan, under the firm name of Joslin, Swan & Company. This business was closed at the end of the year, and Mr. Joslin came to Bos- ton, Massachusetts, and engaged in the pro- vision business, having a stall in the Central
