My grandfather, Auther Heath Onthank, wrote a book on the Onthankfamily history back in the late 1950's. the following is taken fromthe book....
Joseph Onthank, second son of William and Elisabeth James Onthank, wasborn at Southboro on June 16, 1755. He, too was a member of theMinute Men in the company of Captain Josiah Fay, with his father andhis brother, James, and marched on the alarm of April 19,1775, to theLexington-Concord battle, when he was not quite 20 years old.Thereafter, he served for 16 days with the Colonial Army at Cambridge,but did not enlist in the Continental Army, and returned to Southboroto help on the farm. His other Revolutionary War service was 6 daysin Colonel Whitney's regiment at the time of the Burgoyne invasion,again in the same company with his father.
Soon after his intial military service, Joseph married Lucy Amsden, inSouthboro on September 19, 1776. The Amsden family was an old andnumerous one around Marlboro.
