Notes - Joseph Anthony Sr. served in the Revolutionary War by giving supplies to the cause (DAR National #67511). A list of the supplies may be found in the records of the Clerk's office by C. B. Bryant, Martinsville,Virginia, and from Henry County and Its Formation, 1777. It is said that the Tories cut off his silver knee buckles for his activities.
Joseph Anthony, Sr., owned considerable land, having patented over 4,000 acres in Hanover County (formerly New Kent), Virginia, in his own name by 1739. His will is of record at Martinsville, Henry County, Virginia, and indicates a very comfortable fortune for those days. He was a planter and merchant.
His marriage to Elizabeth Clark produced 15 children. Joseph's religion is not known, but his wife was a devout Quaker (her mother's family, the Johnsons, were very active in Quakerism) and preached.
