He was thrifty, and saved money, and soon was able to buy a schooner and load her for Spain. He became well-to-do, and in 1733 married Love Macy, by whom he had three sons :
(1) William Rotch (b. 1734, d. 1828), who became an eminent mer- chant in New Bedford, from whom descended Hon. B. S. Rotch and Hon. Wm. J. Rotch, both of Boston ;
(2) Joseph Rotch (b. 1743), a merchant of Boston (patron of Phyllis Wheatley), and who died in England in 1767 ; and
(3) Francis Rotch (b. 1750, d. 1822), owner of the ships "Beaver', and "Dartmonth," from which the tea was thrown overboard in Boston harbor, in December, 1773. Francis married his second cousin, Nancy Rotch (b. 1772, d. 1864), but neither he nor his brother Joseph left any children.

He was father of Nancy, who married Francis Rotch, owner of the tea ships.
SAMUEL ROTCH (b. 1764, d. 1811), was son of Capt. Joseph Rotch. He left home early in life, and followed the sea for some years.

Of the sons, William (b. 1800, d. 1849) married Sylvia Leach, and was a merchant in Boston ; MATTHEW GRIFFIN (b. 1806, d. 1878) married Tamesin Hale Fuller (b. 1804, dau. of Nathan Fuller, of Amherst, N. H.), and was long a respected citizen of Mont Vernon, N. H .; Albert Atwood (b. 1810) mar- ried (1) Rhoda Keith and (2) Sarah Spare. He was for many years jus- tice of the peace at Easton, Mass.
