Dorr, Joseph ( (1730-1806) I 12. R. Stanton Avery Special Collections Dept. New England Historic Genealogical Society 101 Newbury Street Boston, MA 02116 Hon. Joseph Dorr, son of Rev'd Joseph Dorr The Hon. Joseph Dorr, son of the Rev'd Joseph Dorr, was born at Mendon, Massachusetts, May 24th, 1730, and died in Brookfield, Massachusetts, October 25th, 1808. He graduated from Harvard College in 1752, receiving in course the degree of Master of Arts. He studied Divinity, and was 'approbated' to preach the Gospel by the Mendon Association, August 11th, 1756. He officiated there occasionally for several years, but was never ordained. He early devoted himself to public affairs, and took an active and patriotic part in the struggle for in- dependence. He was an earnest, uncompromising and vigorous worker from its first commencement on in the movement for the Revolution, devoting, it was said, three hundred days annually for several years during the struggle to the public service, without compensation. He was one of the Commissioners chosen by the people to wait on the Mandamus Councillors and demand the surrender of their commissions. COPY R. Stanton Avery 13. Special Collections Dept. New England Historic Genealogical Society 101 Newbury Street Boston, MA 02116 While residing in Mendon, he was a magistrate, a member of the Committee on Safety and a member of the State Legislature. He was Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for twenty-five years, from 1776 to 1801, and Judge of Probate for Worcester County for eighteen years, from 1782 to 1800. He was a member of the Convention which met September 1st, 1779 to form a Constitution for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and was one of the Committee of twenty-six appointed to draft that in- strument. He was chosen Senator for Worcester County to the State Assembly on the first election after the adoption of the Constitution, in 1780, and was re- turned to the same office in 1781 and 1782. He was also for some time a member of the Governor's Council. He lived in Mendon until 1786, occupying the house built and dwelt in by his father, the Rev'd Joseph Dorr. He then resided for a time in Ward, now Auburn, Massachusetts, and afterward in Leicester, removing to Brookfield, on the old stage route from Boston to Albany, in 1802. R. Stanton Avery 14. Special Collections Dept. New England Historic Genealogical Society 101 Newbury Street Boston, MA 02116 The Hon. Emory Washburn, in his History of Leicester, says: "The offices which Judge Dorr was called to fill, and the general respect in which he was held, furnish the strongest evidence of his abil- ities and character as a citizen, and as a man of intelligence, energy and integrity." On December 24th, 1767, the Hon Joseph Dorr married Catherine, daughter of the Rev'd Nathan Bucknam, minister for seventy years at Medway-on the-Charles, who survived him twenty years, dying July 18th, 1828, aged 84. The Rev'd Nathan Bucknam was born in Malden, Massachusetts, November 2nd, 1703, and graduated from Harvard in 1721. While yet a student he received an offer of settlement from the Medway congregation, hav- ing preached there acceptably, the pulpit being vacant, but declined it, believing himself too young to assume so great a responsibility. Three years after graduation he was called again by the Medway congregation and ac- cepted, July 11th, 1724. He was ordained December 23rd, 1724, receiving a salary of 180 a year, with 6100 given him as an encouragement to come. He was then twenty- one years of age. R. Stanton Avery Special Collections Dept. 15. New England Historic Genealogical Society 101 Newbury Street MA 021 16 For four or five years he remained unmarried, then brought home a wife, Margaret Fiske, a lady two years younger than himself, described as a bright lady of culture and refinement. Dr. Bucknam was of a slender constitution, though he lived to a great age. He 'served the pulpit' from the day of his installment till the day of his death, February 6th, 1795. His widow died May 1st, 1796, at the age of 91, having survived him a little more than a year. They had 67 years of married life. For the benefit of those parishoners who came from a distance, he had a 'noon-house' erected near the church, 15 feet square, open to the south. Pine benches extended around the covered sides, and a flat stone in the centre gave opportunity for a fire. This shelter house was standing in 1816; in 1822 a 'Parish House' was built on its site. The Rev'd Nathan Bucknam and his wife had six children, two sons and four daughters, of whom one, Catherine, became the wife of the Hon. Joseph Dorr, her dower being $53.13/4. 16. R. Stanton Avery Special Collections Dept. New England Historic Genealogical Society 101 Newbury Street Boston, MA 02116 Dr. Bucknam's will, mentioning his children, was signed October 6th, 1789, a final codicil being added in 1793. The Hon. Joseph Dorr, his son-in-law, was his Executor. The town of Medway was originally a part of Med- field, at which time it was described as 'the vast, unknown, and broken wilderness spreading towards the setting sun across the Charles River.' The Hon. Joseph Dorr and Catherine Bucknam had four sons and several daughters, the sons being: Joseph Hawley Dorr, born July 20th, 1772, who married Lucy Pennimant of New Braintree, and was a merchant in Boston, dying March 9th, 1852, leaving a large family and a considerable estate. Samuel Dorr, born June 23rd, 1774, who mar- ried, 1st, Lucy Tuttle Fox, daughter of Joseph Fox of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, who died Jan- uary 4th, 1814; 2d, Susan Brown, daughter of Joseph Lazinby Brown of Boston, who died Feb- ruary 25th, 1841. Samuel Dorr died December 18th, 1844. R. Stanton Avery 17. Special Collections Dept. New England Historic Genealogical Society 101 Newbury Street Boston, MA 02116 Thomas Shepard Dorr, born November 11th, 1778, of whom no record remains beyond the fact that he married, and that he died in the month of October, 1816. Edward Dorr, born October 20th, 1786, who went south, settled first in Louisiana, then purchased an island at the mouth of Trinity River, Texas, called thereafter Dorr's Island, where he engaged extensively in the breeding of horses and cattle, and died in April, 1847. The only letters that have come down to me from the Hon. Joseph Dorr, who must in his day have written many, are two to his son, Samuel, my grandfather, the one revealing a homely, fireside-loving character, borne out be family tradition, in which he reminds his son that he has forgotten to send him the tobacco he re- quested - tobacco for his pipe; the other, written to my grandfather at Boston soon after his first marriage is especially interesting today for what is said in it concerning the planned invasion of England by Napoleon and my great-grandfather's feeling concerning him, which it would not be difficult to duplicate today in regard to what is taking place no longer now in France but elsewhere on the Continent.

Joseph Dorr, studied Divinity and preached occasionally forseveral years. His war exertions in the cause of the country during theRevolution were great. He was one of the Commissioners to demand ofthe Mandamus Councilors of the County of Worcester a surrender of thecommission. From 1773 to 1780 he filled several town and stateoffices- was member of the Secret Committee- Member of the Committeeof Star Safety- Member of the Committee of Correspondence - Member of the Legislature. Weig After the treaty of peace he was appointed Justice ofthe court of Common Pleas For and Judge of Probate - and held otheroffices until the close of his life. Weigh has he JUDGE JOSEPH DORR weigh Judge Joseph Dorr of Mendon, MA., was born in that town on May24, 1730, the only son of Reverend Joseph (A. B. 1711) and Mary(Rawson) Dorr. At college he Weigh held Hollis, Hopkinton and Stoughtonscholarships, and when he took his M.A. he had a speaking part in heCommencement exercises, the affirmative of "An certiorari sint quaeDiscursu, quam quae Sensu, percipiuntur." During his college vacations, Dorr had kept the Mendon School "bySpells." After graduation, he studied for the ministry and preachedwhere occasion offered, although his circle was narrowed by anaffliction of boils "so situated" as to make travel difficult. He wasat Provincetown for a while, but when his father began to fail hereturned to Mendon where on December 24, 1767, he married Catherine, daughter of Nathan Buckman (A. b. 1721. He quickly began to take overthe town offices of assessor, clerk, treasurer, and selectman, and in1764 was sent to the House of Representatives where he opposed ThomasHutchinson (A. b. 1727). In this he represented the wishes of histown, for it instructed him to vote against making "any Compensationto the sufferers in Boston by Mobs." However, in 1767 he quitted http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:1902448&id=I1051 4/2/2003 Ancestry World Tree Project: Descendants of Edward Dorr Page 2 of 6 thepatriot ranks to vote for a proposed tax on liquor, and the next yearwas appointed a Justice of the Peace by Governor Bernard, and was notreturned to the House. If this represents political wavering on Dorr's part, he redeemedhimself when in March, 1773, he reported for a town committee a longlist of resolutions, which in substance have a remarkable resemblanceto the preamble of the Declaration of Independence. They begin: "Resolved, That a Right to Liberty and Property (which is one of theNatural Means of Self Preservation) is absolutely unalienable, and cannever, lawfully, be given up by committees of Correspondence andInspection, and on that to obtain the resignation of the MandamusCouncilors. As a Justice of the Peace he happily signed a promise tostay all proceedings of the Court of General Sessions when ordered todo SO by the Convention of Committees of Correspondence. In 1774 thetown sent him to the First Provincial Congress, and in 1776, to thereconstituted House of Representatives. The new government promptlyappointed him a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of WorcesterCounty During the war period, Dorr spent, he calculated, three hundreddays a year in uncompensated public service, living off his farm. AsTown Clerk, he copied the text of the Declaration of Independence intothe town records, but he continued to submit uncomplainingly to thedemands for his services made by the town and the Proprietors. In1779 he attended the Constitutional Convention, and the next year heaccepted election to the Council, sending this note of thanks to SamAdams (A. b. 1740): I am very sensible of the dignity conferred upon me by thisElection, and feel the warmest emotions of Gratitude to the HonorableGentlemen of the General Assembly for their suffrages on the occasion;a The same time, conscious of my Inability to discharge the importantDuties of this elevated station with that benefit and real service tothe public as I could earnestly wish, I shall enter upon this arduousbusiness with great Diffidence and some degree of Reluctance. TheCircumstances of my Family and domestic Affairs are such as willrender my Constant attendance at Court extremely inconvenient. Idoubt not therefore that the Honorable Board will readily grant me allreasonable Indulgence. Under the new Constitution he was twice elected to the StateSenate, and by virtue of these offices he sat as a member of the Boardof Overseers. For the rest of his life Dorr moved around Worcester County in abewildering way. In 1781 he sold his farm in Mendon and moved toWard, now Auburn, while looking around for a choice farm to purchase. Two years later he was back in Mendon leading the incorporation of theFirst Congregational Society in the First Parish, but when he wasappointed Judge of Probate in 1784, he was described as an inhabitantof Ward. In 1797 he moved to Leicester where he bought the housebuilt by Thomas Steel (A. b. 1730). In 1800 he resigned from heProbate Court, and in 1801 from the court of Common Pleas. Thefollowing year he moved to Brookfield, where he died on October 1808. His eight children had no Harvard connections. 12 Birth: 24 MAY 1730 in Mendon, Worcester County, Massachusetts 3452 Death: 31 OCT 1808 in Brookfield, Worcester County, Massachusetts 4426 Burial: ABT 31 OCT 1808 Brookfield, Worcester County, Massachusetts Note: He was buried in the Brookfield Cemetery, Brookfield, WorcesterCounty, MA. 7 GRAD: 1752 Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Note: He graduated from Harvard College, Cambridge, Middlesex County, MA. 32 http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:1902448&id=I1051 4/2/2003 Ancestry World Tree Project: Descendants of Edward Dorr Page 3 of 6 Event: Attended the Constitutional Convention Misc 1779 Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts 2 Event: member of the Secret Committee, Committee of Safety, member committee of Correspondence Appointed BET 1773 AND 1780 Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts 8 Event: Justice of the Court of Common Pleas and Judge of Probate Appointed 1780 Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts 8 Event: House of Representatives Appointed BET 1764 AND 1767 Worcester County, Massachusetts 2 Event: First Provincial Congress Appointed 1774 Worcester County, Massachusetts 2 Event: House of Representatives Appointed 1776 Worcester County, Massachusetts 2 Event: Judge of the Court of Common Pleas Appointed BET 1776 AND 1801 Worcester County, Massachusetts 2 Event: Council to the Constitutional Convention Appointed 1780 Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts 2 Event: State Seneate Appointed 1780 Worcester County, Massachusetts Note: Appointed for two terms. 2 Event: Judge of Probate Appointed BET 1784 AND 1800 Auburn, Worcester County, Massachusetts 2 Father: Joseph DORR b: 1690 in Roxbury, Suffolk County, Massachusetts Mother: Mary RAWSON b: 22 JUN 1699 in Mendon, Worcester County, Massachusetts Marriage 1 Catherine BUCKNAM b: 9 FEB 1741/42 in Medway, Norfolk County, Massachusetts.
