THE WILLIAM BARSTOW FAMILY, by Arthur Hitchcock Radasch, pages 6 & 8.

He was called Capt. Joseph in the Hanover records. He and his brothers Benjamin and Samuel represented the Barstows in Hanover when it was established as a separate town. At the first town meeting held June 29, 1727, Joseph was elected moderator. He resided on Broadway, and built the house later known as the Salmond house. In 1720 he and Benjamin Stetson received a grant of two acres of land on the Indian Head River, between Pine Hill and Rocky Run, where they were to locate a forge and refinery, and with three others he erected the forge subsequently known as Barstow's Forge, and which was operated and improved by his descendants for 75 years. It was purchased by the Salmonds when his grandson, Joshua Barstow, removed to Exeter, NH in 1795.

Mr. Barstow lived on Broadway, built the Barstow Forge and, it is said, built the house known as the Salmond House.

   Joseph's farm consisted of 70 acres; he had other lots of land for a total of 826 acres. His estate was appraised at 6926 pounds, a large sum for those days. Among the items in the inventory were: 1/4 of a sloop, 1/4 of a grist mill, 1/4 of the new forge, and 1/4 of a sawmill. He also owned two negro slaves. In the division of his estate, after provision for his widow, his sons James and Joshua each received 2/7, and his three daughters each received 1/7 (PR 1187, Plymouth Co.; or Book 5:846).
