Name Variation: ³
Joseph Swett Jr. was baptized on August 25, 1689 in Marblehead, Massachusetts, an only child.¹
from Marblehead's Pygmalion: Finding the Real Agnes Surriage, by F. Marshall Bauer
He was the son of Joseph Swett.²
Joseph, under the guidance of the Rev. Mr. Barnard of Marblehead, by whom he was styled "a young man of strict justice, great industry, enterprising genius, quick apprehension and firm resolution, but of small fortune," became the founder of a temporary commercial prosperity of Marblehead, which town subsequently paid one of the highest taxes in the Colony, and was one of the principal ports on our New England coast.⁴
Joseph married Ruth (?)⁵
Joseph married Martha Stacey on September 13, 1725 in Marblehead, Massachusetts.⁶
Joseph married Hannah Negus on September 23, 1734.⁷
There is an old tradition that the daughters of Joseph Swett were great beauties, somewhat like the Seven Stars of the Chandler family. Certainly, Copley's portrait of Mistress Martha Lee shows that she was a beautiful woman.⁸
On January 12, 1744/45, Joseph Swett Jr. was Justice of the Peace.³
Joseph died between March 20, 1745 and April 16, 1745.⁹
