  HIST	Joseph received numerous grants of land in Craven Co., and for many years was associated with Prince Frederick Parish, but later with St. Mark’s. In 1757 he was appointed one of the commissioners for building St. Marks’s Curch; and there are many references to him in Dr. Burgess’ “History of St. Mark’s Parish.” He was Captain of militia, certainly as early as 1737; probably before. In 1754 and 1755 he was a member of the Commons from Prince Frederick Parish; and for many years he was a Justice of the Peace of Craven County. His plantation near the Santee River was called “Mount Hope,” and the title deeds are still in the possession of his descendants. He bought it in 1739; and part of the land was set aside and is still used as the family burial-ground.  [1]
