From Clapp, Ebenezer, The Clapp memorial, publ. by David Clapp, 1876:
Joshua3 (Thomas2, Thomas1), son of Thomas and Mary (Fisher) Clapp, of Dedham, was born in 1667, and died in 1728. He lived in that part of Dedham incorporated as the town of Walpole in 1724, and married, first, Mary, daughter of Jonathan Boyden. She died May 18, 1718, and he married, second, December 4, 1718, Silence Wright, widow of William Wright, and daughter of John Bird, of Dorchester. She was born Feb. 14, 1690. He was a farmer, and of his father's estate he had one half the field near the river, bounded north by the land of his brother Thomas; two lots of cedar swamp meadow; six acres of land next to James Fales's; twelve acres of land north of the Neponset River, some of it on the river; and two cow-rights.
Children of Joshua and 1st wife Mary (Boyden) Clapp, of Dedham and Walpole:
1. Joshua, b. in 1707; d. May 6, 1802, aged 95 years.
2. John, b. in 1709; d. Feb. 21, 1775, aged 66 years. He probably never married. Being a person unable to manage his own affairs, his brother Joshua was appointed his guardian, June 13, 1745, John being about 32 years of age.
3. Abigail, m. Mr. Morse.
4. Esther, m. Mr. Morse.
5. Mary, m. Eleazer Robins, of Stoughton, an innholder. Mr. Robins was the administrator of the estate of his wife's uncle, Eliezer Clapp, in 1749. The reason Eliezer's son Stephen did not administer was probably on account of his being a seafaring man.
6. Thankful, b. in 1716.
Children of Joshua and 2nd wife Silence (Bird) Clapp:
1. Silence, b. in 1720.
2. Seth, b. in 1722.
