      Joseph Rotch was born in Salisbury, England, May 6, 1704, and went to Nantucket, subsequently to New Bedford, where he died, November 24, 1784.
      He inaugurated the business of whale fishery so successfully carried on by his son. When the Revolutionary War broke out the whaling business was practically ruined, and William Rotch went to England, hoping to pursue the business there, but, meeting with little encouragement, he finally went to Dunkirk, France, where special privileges from the French government were granted him.
      He carried on the business there until 1794, when he returned to Nantucket, and after a year's residence on the island, went to New Bedford and resided there until his death in 1828. His great-grandson, now living in New Bedford, says, " He was a consistent Friend and had the courage of his convictions. I have heard my great-aunt Mary Rotch tell the following story :
      " He was at Dunkirk at the time of the Napoleonic Wars ; one day there came news of the great victory of Austerlitz.
      " Municipal orders were issued commanding every one to illuminate in honor of the event.—My great grandfather was true to his principles and refused to obey the order, though every house in the street was a blaze of light.
      " The good mayor of the city was very friendly with my grandfather and called to expostulate and if possible pursuade him—fearing danger from the mob in those excited times, but Mr. Rotch. refused. " Well, said the Mayor finally, the street belongs to the city, and I will do what I can, so he sent and procured two large lanterns, and had them placed directly in front of the house, and detailed some Gendarmes to walk up and down in front and explain to the people that those who lived there were not enemies, but good friendly people, who did not believe in war.
      " His daughter Elizabeth Rotch was a remarkable woman, living to the advanced age of ninety-nine, and when over ninety had never used the back of a chair, but sat erect without support."
      William Rotch is thus described by this grandson, who saw him when he himself was only four years of age : " He was a tall venerable man with white hair and beard, and came into the room leaning on the back of a large arm chair on castors, attended by his black servant."]
