    Notes 
    • Before his first marriage or shortly thereafter, Captain Joseph Stanwood had moved to Newburyport, and it was from this town that he enlisted during the Revolution. The first mention of him in the war records was on March 18, 1777, on a pay-roll dated at Newburyport; he was then in Captain Jonathan Row's company. The next year, in January, he had enlisted as a private in Captain Moses Greenleaf's company, Colonel Benjamin Tupper's regiment, and in November, 1778, his name appears on a muster-roll of Captain Jonathan Evan's company, Colonel Nathaniel Wade's regiment, as private, at North Kingston, Rhode Island. The same company had already been stationed most of the year in East Greenwich. At some period of his long stay in Greenwich he was a corporal.

      Captain Joseph Stanwood was a ship-builder and ship-owner in Newburyport for many years, and grew rich in his business. The History of Newburyport gives a list of some of the vessels he built and owned.

      On Sept. 20, 1794, Joseph Stanwood bought the Dalton FArm, moved to the house which was on the farm, and lived there the rest of his life.
