64. Joshua Sears (Paul , Paul , Richard ) was born 20 Nov 1708 in Yarmouth, Barnstable, MA. He died 27 Sep 1753 in Middletown, CT.

S.P. May p.84 Joshua Sears was Constable of Harwich in 1745.
He was a man of large stature, and of great strength and hardihood.
In 1746, he removed to Middletown, CT, and purchased land on the east side of the Conneticut river, in that part of town afterward set off as Chatham.
In Col. Rec. Ct., vol. X, we find the memorial of Rebecca Sears, admx, to the Assembly, setting forth that debts exceeded personal estate by L 135 16 10, and asking liberty to sell real estate.
Mar. 9, 1732, Ebenr Nickerson deeded to Joshua Sears, for the consideration of L 532, "about 36 acres of land with the buildings, &c., eastward of Point of Rocks, Harwich, 3 Lots: First, the eastern-most originally laid out to Capt. Jona. Bangs; ---. Second, to successors Mark Snow; --. Third, the westward to Thos. Clark, bounded on Dea. Chillingsworth Foster, Nathaniel Hopkins, John Freeman, and Clark & Cole lot."
I have found no record of marriage of Theophilus, or Benjamin Sears; but think Dr. Willard Leonard Sears, (p. 578 #1) b. Glastenbury, CT, Sep 16, 1816, derived from one of them, perhaps Benjamin, as he named his eldest son Benjamin Willard Sears.

SPM p. 88, No 44 Edmund Sears and his wife were admitted to the church in E. Yar., May 12, 1745.
He was a sea captain during many years.
It is related of him that at the time of the "Boston Tea Party," he was un-
loading his vessel in the vicinity.
He went on board the vessels and participated in throwing the tea overboard.
Upon his return to the Cape soon after, though he had been long absent from
home, on entering the house he went straight to the "bowfat," and without
saying a word to any one, seized the teapot and caddy, and threw them into the garden with a crash.
His astonished wife whispered to the children, "your poor father has come home crazy."
He then proclaimed that from theat time henceforth none of his family were to drink tea, or wear upon their persons any articles of British manufacture.
His four sons were in the Revolutionary Army, but nevertheless, when a land
ing was threatened on the Cape, he mounted his horse and galloped to the spot
to offer his services. He set up the first chaise, and owned the first ingrain carpet in the town.
His will, dated June 20, 1796, was witnessed by John Chapman, Peter Sears and Joseph Sears; a codicil bears no date. He mentions wife Hannah; daus. Mary Sears, Elizh. Homer, Jane Hallet, Temperance Clark and Hannah Sears; and sons Christopher, Elkanah, Edmund and Joshua.
