In Memory of Mr. Joseph Beckley who died Jan 30th 1772 Aged 76 years.
from "Deacon George Graves of Hartford":
Joseph Beckley (63) was born 19 Sept. 1695 and died 30 Jan. 1772, both in Wethersfield, CT. He first married Mary Judd, daughter of Benjamin Judd and Susannah North, on 23 Oct. 1723 in Wethersfield. She was born 6 Feb. 1702, probably in Farmington, CT, and died 16 April 1750 in Wethersfield, CT. He secondly married Sybil Porter on 29 March 1753 in Wethersfield. She was born in 1704, died 6 June 1783 in Wethersfield, CT, and was daughter of Joseph Ranney and widow of Capt. Amos Porter. The children, all by Joseph Beckley's first marriage, were all born in Wethersfield.

"New England Historical & Genealogical Register", Vol. 9, p. 20.
Lieut. Joseph Beckley built a large red painted house on the opposite side of the road from his grandfather's homestead which he used not only as his home but as a tavern for which he was licensed 1723. A historian in later years said the house was maintained as a tavern for seventy-eight years by him and by descendants of Joseph Beckley, an important Inn between Hartford and New Haven. It cannot have been the first tavern between the cities because his grandfather Sergt. Richard Beckley had been licensed "to keep public house for entertainment of travelers" September 1, 1681. The decaying house was torn down by Norman Lewis Beckley of the eighth generation, last resident on the orginal homestead property. A very beautiful elm tree stood for well over one hundred years in front of the tavern but was destroyed during a heavy thunder-storm early in the twentieth century. Another tree was later planted on the same spot.
