From A Memoir of the Otis Family:223
    “Judge Otis’ residence at Scituate was on the south of Coleman’s Hill, the former residence of Gilbert Brooks, Esq. He held the office of Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Plymouth Co. from 1703-1714. In 1709 the town of Scituate voted that ‘the Society empower Joseph Otis, Esq. to finish the meeting house by pewing it, and also to appoint two and two to a pew[when they do not agree to couple themselves], each couple paying the cost of building the pew.’ In 1710 he was elected under the governor’s order, representative to ‘the Great and General Court’, and again in 1713. He held other town offices. He moved to New London about 1721, where many of his relations and acquaintances lived, and bought of James Harris a tract of 650 acres of land ‘lying in the North parish in New London, adjoining a pond called Obplintksok,’ now Gardiner’s Lake, a mile or more in length. This land was purchased by Thomas Stanton, or Stonington, of Owaneco, 11 Nov 1698, and by him sold to Joseph Otis. He was received to the communion of the church at New London 19 Nov 1722.
    “He was much in public employment, was Moderator of town meetings, on parish and church committees almost yearly, etc.
    “From the records of Colchester, Conn. it appears that in 1724 he purchased of Capt. Samuel Gilbert a house and farm of 180 acres, lying in the east part of the town of Colchester, on the old country road for ‘770 pounds lawful money of New England.’ He is described in the deed, as of Scituate. This land Joseph deeded to his son Nathaniel in 1735, ‘for and in consideration of the love, good will and affection which I have for and do bear unto my beloved son, and is the whole of what I design my said son shall have of my estate’. The house erected on this land by Nathaniel, has been occupied successively by five generations.
    “Judge Otis is spoken of by his contemporaries as a gentleman of great integrity, a judicious and useful citizen. The following portrait was written of him soon after his death ‘He was a Christian upon principle, a public spirited and useful man, distinguished by talents of the solid, judicious and useful, rather than of the brilliant and showy kind. He was of large stature, his countenance solemn and serene, frank and open in his manner, of ready wit and sound understanding. As a private individual he had the union of simple dignity and benevolent courtesy which marks the gentleman. He died universally lamented.’”
