Joseph, born 22 Sept 1653; married 31 Oct 1677, Mary, daughter of Tristram and Judith (Somerby) (Greenleaf) Coffin, who was born 12 Nov 1657, and died 28 Nov 1725. Captain Joseph was much more prominent in town affairs than his father. He was a tythingman in 1685, and selectman in 1692-3, 1700, 1704-5. He seems to have always been connected with the established (Congregational) church, of which he and his wife were members. It was then the custom to seat the congregation according to their rank in the community, and in the allotment of seats after the erection of a new house of worship in 1700, quite a prominent one was given him. In 1688 he was taxed for two houses, twelve acres of ploughed land, twelve of meadow, twenty of pasture, two horses, one colt, five hogs, thirty sheep, and thirty-two head of cattle. His lands afterwards largely increased by inheritance and numerous purchases. He is believed to have lived at Turkey Hill from his marriage till about 1730, when he removed to the part of Newbury now Newburyport, where several of his sons were engaged in trade. He distributed his real estate among his sons before his death, and in his will dates 27 Jan 1737, and proved 1 Oct 1740, he divides his household goods between his daughters Judith Moody and Sarah Thing, and gives one third of the remainder of his estate to his grandson Nathan, on third to his grandson Ebenezer [both sons of Moses].

The Massachusetts Vital records list a son, Joseph, born to Sergt. Joseph and wife Mary in Newbury on 27 Dec 1693. This Lieutenant Joseph appears to have died in 06 Sept 1740 in Newburyport. Could they have named the son born later in the same year the second oldest son Joseph died, another Joseph? There is a great gap between Daniel and Benjamin's births.

From reliable tradition, George was from Unicorn Street near the London Bridge in England. He came to Newbury in 1640 or soon there after, working for Mr John Woolbridge who advanced his passage money, and helped George procure four acres of upland. In Sept of 1650 he bought freehold rights to John Osgood's land who removed to Andover. He then bought fourteen aces from Nicholas Noyes, ten from Thomas Coleman, and with others, three hundred acres from Stephen Dummer. He was a tailor by trade but like so many others, agriculture was his main event. Though not an educated man, he was remarkable for his strength of mind as well as body. Tradition says he could carry a plough on his shoulder from his home to his farm at Turkey Hill, over three miles away, and that he was exceedingly well versed in scripture. The house which he built in 1679, occupied for the remainder of his life, was taken down in 1851. It stood thirty rods east of the present residence of Deacon Joseph Little.
He married Alice Poor, who sailed for New England from Southampton in the Beavis in May 1638, together with her younger brothers Samuel and Daniel, in the party of Stephen Dummer. She is believed to have been a native of Wiltshire. She died 1 Dec 1680, aged 82. He married again, 19 July 1681, Eleanor, widow of Thomas Barnard of Amesbury, who survived him, dying 27 Nov 1694. The exact date of his death is not known, but it was between 15 March 1693 and 27 Nov 1694.

Bond Little, private, was one of the men who marched from Deering to Ackworth for the assistance of the American Army at Fort Ticonderoga on the first of July 1777 and returned on the 3rd of the same month.
A payroll of Capt William Boyes's company of volunteers in Col Kelly's Regiment in the expedition to Rhode Island Aug 1778 shows that Bond Little served as Corporal, date of the enlistment Aug 7, 1778, date of discharge Aug 27, 1778. Time of service 23 days, 2 days travel.

He served under Capt John Hazen in the expedition against Crown Point in 1758, and not long after settled in Weare, NH. About 1775 he removed to the adjoining town of Deering where he held several town offices and cleared a large tract of land. In 1786 he went to Newbury, NH where he made extensive purchases of land. He was a prominent citizen there, served as selectman, held the commission of justice of pace and solemnized numerous marriages.
