(2) Eunice Johnson.Joseph died New Auburn, New York.The BEACH FAMILY MAGAZINE, Vol. I, No. 3, p. 70, however, gives the year of his birth as 1738.He was an ensign in the 4th Company of the Morristown, New Jersey, Militia in September, 1775.He was later made a captain and commanded a detachment on guard at the Morristown Court House from October, 1777, to January, 1778.His son, Asa Beach, served in his company and his pension papers describe both men's service.Joseph moved to Charlton, Saratoga, New York, c. 1791, and later to New Auburn, where he died.

Great Grand Parents
8. John Beach b. 16--, m. Mary _____.John died 16-Jun-1677, Stratford, Connecticut.He first appears in the records of New Haven, Connecticut, on 7-Jun-1643.It is universally believed, based on a variety of circumstantial evidence, that John Beach was the brother of Richard and Thomas Beach, both of whom also settled in New Haven between 1639 and 1646.John later moved to Stratford, Connecticut, c. 1660.He owned land in Wallingford, but does not seem to have lived there himself.Although many theories have been put forward, his ancestry has NOT yet been established by competent evidence.
9. Mary _____. She was NOT, as some claim, Mary Staples, daughter of Thomas Staples.The early New England genealogists confused John Beach(1) with his son, John Beach, Jr.(2).It was the latter who married Hannah, the daughter of Thomas Staples.Mary, the wife of John Beach(1), is mentioned only once - at the birth of the youngest son Benjamin(2) - such that it is possible she was a second wife.She is not named in the administration of her husband's estate, and so probably died before him.
