In 1677, Robert Spurr was called before the church at Dorchester, to make an acknowledgment for entertaining at his house loose and vain persons and especially Joseph Belcher for his frequent comeing to his daughter, which was greatly to the offence of said Belcher's nearest relations and divers others.  Mr. Belcher died soon after his father-in-law, Gill, as his estate was appraised in 1678.

Notes for JOSEPH BELCHER:
FROM: Rich Houghton, Genforum
Joseph Belcher (Gregory-1) was born on 25 December 1641, most probably in Braintree, Norfolk Co., Massachusetts. He was the son of Gregory Belcher and his wife Catherine ------.
Around 1664, he married REBECCA-2 GILL (No. 84:3:1045). Rebecca was the daughter of John Gill and Anne [Billings?], and was baptized in Dorchester, Massachusetts Bay Colony, on 7 July 1650.
On the occasion of his marriage his father gave him nine acres of land in Milton, Norfolk Co., where the newlyweds settled. These were combined with large tracts that Rebecca, as her father's heir, owned in Dorchester and Milton.
Joseph and Rebecca's life together was not without its problems. The two grew estranged, and temporarily separated. This was a situation that Puritan morality of the time could not tolerate and the couple was summoned before the General Court. By the efforts of friends, however, the two evidently reconciled and remained together.
Sometime around 1674, they moved to Braintree, Norfolk County; Rebecca was dismissed to the Braintree Church on 6 September 1674.
Soon after moving to Braintree, the war with the Indians known as King Philip's War began. Joseph served as quartermaster in the cavalry troop of Capt. Thomas Prentice in the first expedition against them at Mount Hope. In a subsequent engagement against the Indians during King Phillip's War on 28 June 1675, at Swansea, Bristol Co., he distinguished himself by great bravery; he was badly wounded in the knee and had his horse shot out from underneath him.
Joseph died in Braintree in late December 1678 or early January 1679. His brief will provided:
" The Will of Joseph Belchar. That Capt. Brackitt & Mr Quinsey shall have the over Seeinge of his estate & his wife to have the estate to bringe up his children & his children to have the estate equally devided & to have there portion at ye day of marrig or when they come of Age & if any or either of them shall dye before ye day of marrig or before they shall be of Age then there portion or portions shall bee devided & given unto those children that shall then bee alive."
The inventory of his estate was presented on 7 February 1678/9:

Capt. Prentice was appointed captain of the special Troop, June 24, 1675, and sent out with Capt. Henchman, as has been related. On arriving at Swansey, at Miles's garrison, the Indians began firing from the bushes across the river at our guards, and twelve of the troopers volunteered to go over the bridge and drive them off. These were commanded by Quartermaster Joseph Belcher and Corporal John Gill. Mr. Church went along with them, and also a stranger, and William Hammond acted as pilot. As they advanced across the bridge the Indians fired upon them and wounded Mr. Belcher in the knee, killed his horse, and shot Gill in the breast, but his buff coat and several thicknesses of paper saved him from injury. They killed the pilot outright, and the troopers were forced to retreat, bringing off Hammond and his horse. On the renewal of the attack by the Indians next morning, the troop, supported by Mosely's volunteers, charged across the bridge and drove the Indians from the "Neck" and across to Pocasset. June 30th was spent by the army traversing Mount Hope neck, and at evening Capt. Prentice with his troop rode to Rehoboth and quartered over night.
