- Otis Family in America, p. 87 #80
Joseph moved to Richmond, MA, where he died about 1793. It has also been reported that afterwards Whitestown, N.Y. was his home, where he likewise died about 1793, but as there is [at least at present] no town by this name in N.Y. state, this statement is open to question.
He was noted for going to sleep in his wagon and other places. He sometimes fell asleep while smoking; so often breaking his pipe in this way that he procured one made of iron. It was told of him by Dr. Watson of Colchester that when at church one Sunday, the semon happening to be long than usual, he took out a doughnut, and while in the act of biting it, fell asleep. His head fell back with the cake protruding from his mouth, and he was an object of great merriment.
