Early records in the New World not only sometimes show William's (Joseph's father) name as Bucklin, but also sometimes as "Bucklen", "Buckline", "Bucknam", and "Buckland. I have chosen to use "Bucklen" for his FAG memorial because that is what is on Joseph's gravestone.
Joseph emigrated in 1634 from England on the ship 'Elizabeth Dorcus' as an infant, along with his mother. The Bosworth Genealogy asserts that in Hingham, "Atlantic Ave was where the ship "Elizabeth brought the wife of William Buckland" (Mary Bosworth), his small son Joseph Bucklin, her mother Mary Bosworth and her brothers and father."
The family first settled in Hingham, MA.
The date of 1656 is usually given as the date when William moved his family to Rehoboth, MA, from Hingham, because of the the Old Proprietary Records of Rehoboth which on that date show the land of William Bucklin recorded. (600 acres)
From a document executed by Joseph in regards to his father's estate, it is evident that Joseph was a farmer. It appears that his homestead was in that part of Rehoboth that later became part of Pawtucket, RI. No records show him as being made a freeman or being bound for a trade, so it is probable that he always was a freeman, a church member and if able bodied, a member of the militia (which was called the Town Train Band)
On June 1658, Joseph received one share of 50 acres in the Rehoboth North Purchase. (The town of Attleboro was formed from the Rehoboth North Purchase in 1694.)
In 1670, Joseph was chosen to serve on a grand jury.
On 5 Feb 1671, Joseph drew lot # 63 in another drawing of lots of land.
In 1675, he contributed 6L, 3s, to prosecute the war against the Indian King Phillip.
In 1688, he again participated in a division of land of the Rehoboth North Purchase.
Joseph and his brother Benjamin both married women from the Allen family.
Joseph, Benjamin and their father participated in the drawing of lots for the division of the land in the North Purchase; and John Allen Senior and Junior also participated in that division of land.
Bristol County, MA, probate records show that Joseph was many times called upon to help settle the estates of other people.
He married Deborah Allen on Nov. 5, 1659 in Rehoboth, MA. He was one of the proprieters of Attleboro, MA. His homestead in Rehoboth later became part of Pawtucket, RI. Deborah and Joseph had 9 children: Deborah, Joseph, Barak, John, James, Isaac, Nehemiah (died young), Nehemiah, and Lydia.
Their son, Joseph, Jr., was our ancestor.
