Joseph Peasley, Jr. was born in Haverhill, MA in 1646. He was the son of Joseph, Sr, the immigrant, and
his wife, Mary (perhaps Johnson). Joseph was raised in the eastern part of Haverhill, near to Amesbury in
the old riverfront settlement of Rocks Village. The Peasley family members were of a dissenting frame of
mind, especially when it came to church affairs. They spoke their minds on many occasions, and often
what they had to say didn't agree with the doctrine of the established church. That they got away with this
behavior, may be because they were eminently useful to the town, and also, probably due to the fact that
they didn't live in the more populated area of Haverhill. When, in 1699 the town of Haverhill voted to
build a new meeting house, Joseph formally requested permission for himself and those who worshipped
in their own way (Quakers) to hold their meetings in the new building, but the town refused to grant the
request. So, he and the other dissenters, met at his house, and this band of Friends held the first meeting
of the society in this part of the country, at that site. Large groups of folk would assemble at the so called
quarterly meetings, there to listen to addresses by the more notable speakers of the day. Earlier, in 1693,
Joseph had built a sawmill on a local river, and he was also a physician who ministered to his neighbors.
He owned a fortified house, to which people could repair, in the event of an Indian attack. This house
was built in the 1690's and still stands in the eastern part of Haverhill, known as Rocks Village. Joseph
and his first wife, Ruth (Barnard) Peasley were ancestors, through their daughter, Mary, of John
Greenleaf Whittier. After Ruth's death in 1723, Joseph married Mary (Tucker) Davis, widow of Stephen.
Joseph died 21 March 1734/35, and as those of the Quaker faith eschewed any large stones at
gravesites, the site of his grave is unknown.
