| Notes |
- Coffin's history, pg. 597: Joseph Pillsbury received a common-school education, which was improved by judicious reading and association with people of intelligence. He, as well as five of his brothers, held a captain's commission. In early life he experienced religion, and united with the Congregational church, of which he was ever an active and consistent member; was chosen deacon of First Congregational church in Boscawen.
He first settled on a farm at East Boscawen. In 1831, he accepted the position as agent and overseer of a large farming, containing, 1,500 acres, in Jackson, Maine, owned by Thorndike, Sears & Co. of Boston. Here he remained five years, filling this place of responsibility with satisfaction to his employers.
He returned to Boscawen in 1836, and settled on the "Mt. Pleasant" farm, which he occupied through life. In 1840, '41, and '42, he was employed by the U.S. Land Co., of Boston, as inspector and appraiser of their lands in western Pennsylvania.
He was well known as a progressive and practical agriculturist. While a young man he received an injury that resulted in a chronic disease of the stomach, from which he was a sufferer till death. He possessed a genial, social nature, and his life was filled with deeds of kindness.
