- Judge Joseph - Otis Family in America 1924 - p. 71 #36
He held the office of Judge of the Court of Common Please for Plymouth County from 1703-1714.
"Judge Otis is spoken of by his contemporaries as a gentleman of great integrity, a judicious and useful citizen. The following portrait was written of him soon after his death. 'He was a Christian upon principle; a public spirited and useful man, distinguished by talents of the solid, judicious and useful, rather than the brilliant and showy kind. He was of large stature; his countenance solemn and serene; frank and open in his manner; of ready wit and sound understanding. As a private individual he had the union of simple dignity and benevolent courtesy which marks the gentleman. He died universally lamented.' " (Otis Family in America, p. 72).
