The following was written by one of Joseph's grandsons, "I wanted to join the Sons of the Revolution, and I wanted very much to get it under the records of my good old grandpa Belcher. You never saw him and so did not know of his kindness, his love for the family and all those about him. To know him personally was to know perhaps the most popular man in Scott's woods, a fine singer and handsome man, and the most honorable man I ever knew." (This is extracted from a letter from Cephas Belcher Hunt to Mrs. M. Eleanor Clark, dated Oklahoma City, May 3, 1913.
