Notes
General:

He was the first Champlin to settle in New York State, having migrated from Westerly to Beekman (Dutchess County) in the 1730's, having been recorded as a witness there in 1737. He returned to Rhode Island around 1742 and was appointed to a committee which was to supervise repairs made to the Pawcatuck River Bridge which connects Westerly and Connecticut.

His brothers, Samuel and William married Bridget's sisters Prudence and Sarah. Bridget, daughter of Captain Isaac Thompson (1671-1738) and Mary Holmes (1676-1751).

Joshua had two daughters named Delight. The first married Amariah Stanton, had three children and had died by 1755 when the second Delight was born.

On August 30, 1747, Joshua witnessed the declaring of Peter Simson's Will which was later Proved before Bartholomew Cromwell, Esq. on November 2, 1747. In that Will, Joshua's name was spelled "Choplin".

He was taxed at Beekman from 1747-1778 with a 2 pound assessment from 1753-1767 and at a 1 pound assessment thereafter. He lived on a leased 200 acre farm by 1752 in Lot 7 (on the line of lots 7 and 8). The lease was in the name of Joshua, his wife Bridget and their son William. Colonel James Vanderburgh purchased this land from Henry Van Rensselaer on April 27, 1769.

Joshua was a member of Hopkinton (Rhode Island) Sabbatarian Church before 1750 and continued as a member until 1768. His wife was a member from before 1740 and remained so until 1768.

In May 1742, Joshua was made a Captain in the Third Regiment of King's County Militia, serving under Major Christopher Champlin [Jeffrey (1), Christopher (2-3-4)]. In May of 1743, he was made Captain of the First Westerly Company of King's County Militia. On June 3, 1745, Joshua was commissioned as a Captain in General Pepperell's Third Company. Pepperell's army was raised for the invasion of French Canada by the British. Joshua and his brother, Jeffrey (who was a 2nd Lieutenant under him) arrived at the fortress of Louisbourg (Cape Breton) aboard the Brig "SUCCESS" on July 16, 1745 - too late for the battle. While anchored in the harbour there, an epidemic broke out among the troops on board and many died - including Jeffrey.

Joshua returned to Beekman in 1746 and continued his military career there. He was made a 1st Lieutenant on July 11, 1755 in Colonel Cockcroft's Regiment of Infantry which was raised in Poughkeepsie. On August 21, 1755 he was promoted to Captain. In this capacity he participated in the Lake George Campaign of the French and Indian War. There was a Private Thomas Champlin in this unit who must have been Joshua's son.

Matthew DuBois sued Joshua for 12pds/9sh/1d worth of unpaid "divers goods, wares & merchandise" purchased on November 28, 1752.

In July 1755, Joshua and three of his sons (Joshua, Elisha and William) were among the signers of the "Articles of Association" Every male resident (aged 16-60) was expected to sign this pledge, which was required by the Provincial Congress and the County Committee For Safety. Only about 2/3's of the men in Beekman did so and it became an early source of conflict between Loyalist and Patriot factions there.

The pledge read as follows:

"Persuaded that the Salvation of the Rights and Liberties of America, depends, under God, on the firm Union of its Inhabitants in a vigorous Prosecution of the Measures necessary for its Safety; and convinced of the necessity of preventing the Anarchy and Confusion, which attend the Dissolution of the Powers of Government. We, the Freemen, Freeholders, and Inhabitants of the County of Dutchess, being greatly alarmed at the Avowed Design of the Ministry to raise a Revenue in America; and shocked by the bloody scene now acting out in the Massachusetts Bay, Do, in the most solemn Manner resolve, never to become slaves; and do associate under all the Tie of Religion, Honor, and Love to our Country, to adopt and to endeavor to carry into Execution, whatever Measures may be recommended by the Continental Congress; or resolved upon by our Provincial Convention, for the purpose of preserving our Constitution, and opposing the Execution of the several arbitrary and oppressive Acts of the British Parliament; until a Reconciliation between Great-Britain and America, on Constitutional Principles (Which we most ardently Desire) can be obtained; And that we will, in All things follow the Advice of our General Committee, respecting the Purposes aforesaid, the Preservation of Peace and good order, and the Safety of Individuals, and private Property."

Joshua was a "fence viewer" in Beekman in 1754 and a Constable there in 1756 and 1757. The records of the Court of General Sessions held May 17, 1757 on the case of the King vs Joshua Champlin include the following statement: "The Grand Jury presented an indictment for breach and neglect of duty as a constable. On motion of Mr. Crannel....that he be suspended from he said office of constable. And that Arie B. DeLong be sworn as constable in said Champlin's place for the remainder of the ensuing year."

In 1758, Joshua was again appointed Constable and served as such in 1760 and 1763-1769. In October 1769, it was "Ordered that Joshua Champlin, one of the Constables of Beekman's Precinct forthwith cause the road to be opened over Peter Velie's and John Ways farms according as the same is laid out by the Commissioners and recorded." He was paid 1 pound/10 shillings at the Town Supervisor's meeting of June 1763 for having transported a vagrant. During the meeting of June 4, 1765, Joshua was awarded 1 pound, 10 shillings for having transported Barbara Bullis to Souderlains. During the meeting of June 2, 1767 Joshua was awarded 1 pound, 4 shillings for having transported Elizabeth Willis to New Fairfield.

Joshua took a lease in 1760 of a 111 acre farm on Lot 7, but did not keep it for long as by 1773 an Adam Stover had settled on it. This farm was located on the Pleasant Ridge Road, just north east of Poughquag village.

He was tax collector in 1761 and monitor at the annual precinct meeting in 1766.

In 1761, Joshua took a lease on a 100 acre farm in lot 6. His son, Joshua Jr. and Thomas Lee posted a bond for the back rents in 1782. Joshua Jr. paid two hogs as rent in 1783. Captain Joshua Champlin was referred to as the boundary on land in lot 6 sold by John Brill Jr. to Zacharias Flagler Sr. on October 9, 1786.

Joshua maintained an account at the Sleight Store in Beekman between 1767 and 1772 and with "Bennett's Dau." He also dealt with Merritt's Store on Quaker Hill in 1767 and charged to the account of P. Woodward.

Joshua was recorded as being a Captain of an unidentified unit on August 18, 1777 and was in command of 112 men. On March 10, 1778 Joshua was appointed Captain of the Fifth Regiment of Dutchess County Militia. The regiment was under the command of Colonel Van den Burgh. He resigned this position on October 20, 1779 and was replaced by Roger Morey of Beekman.

Robert G. Livingston sued Joshua in the October Court of 1781 for back wheat rents amounting to 220 bushels which he had failed to pay. The rental was for a "farm and appurtenances" in Beekman which had been rented for a 20 years at 11 bushels per year. ³⁷ ^,38 ^,74
