Joseph Rundle

Married by Justice of the Peace Mead

Joseph Rundle is named in the Connecticut Archives, Towns and Lands, 1629-1789, Vol. VIII, p. 35c

The Probate records at Danbury, Connecticut, Volume 3, page 240, have the will of Joseph Rundle of New Fairfield, Connecticut, dated August 29, 1774; proved March 21, 1775. It names his wife Experience, sons Joseph and William and John; daughters Rhoda, Mindwell, and Elizabeth, and the heirs of Leah; the executors were his sons Joseph and William; the witnesses were Samuel Trowbridge and Anne Trowbridge and Bille Trowbridge.

New Fairfield, Connecticut, is in the North West corner of Fairfield County, Connecticut, about 10 miles from Danbury, Connecticut. The town records of New Fairfield were all destroyed by fire shortly after the Civil War and hence no new material can be had there; and the Church records begin about 1750, so the dates on the above last four children just escape those records. It is possible some one may have a family Bible on this family.
