Notes taken from Genealogical Record by Richard Mauzy
At age 7 (his mother having punished him for a trivial offence) he said to her" I'll be at sister Susie's by night." He was referring to Susanna Mauzy, who had recently married Charles Kemper, whose home was at Cedar Grove, about 3 miles distant. Sure enough to the surprise of his mother, he called his dogs for escort, and "was at Susie's by night."
His chief sport and recreation throughout his life was fox hunting with a good pack of hounds.
The following excerpt was relayed by the granddaughter of Susie: When Joseph was 20 years of age, he was employed in a store in Falmough, opposite Fredericksburg, and in December 1799 a herald rode up hastily proclaiming "The father of his country is no more: and dashed off again. He was referring to the death of George Washington.
In 1802 or 1803 Joseph went to McGaheysville, Rockingham Co., Va where his oldest full brother Thomas was and acquired property. In 1805, the year in which he was married, he purchased from Thomas the home in which he lived till his death and in which his son Richard and his eldest daughter later resided. In 1806 he also purchased 38 acres of land adjoining the village. His business was that of a merchant and his store was one of general merchandise.
In the war of 1812-14 with Great Britian, he was in command of a company at Norfolk, Va.
During the first administration of the President James Monroe, he was elected a member of the Virginia Legislature, his competitor being Judge John Kenney of Harrisonburg.
He served without compensation for a number of years as a member of the County Court, when that court was composed of magistrates.
In his later life he entrusted the store to his sons as they became of competent age and accepted an appointment of County Surveyor.
