Joseph died intestate. Mary Kilbourne, the widow of Joseph of Rowley posted bond on his estate on 11 February 1723. Inventory was presented on 14 January 1723/4. On 28 March 1740 the court ordered that the widow's third be set out for Mary Kilbourne alias Kelly. On 21 April 1741, the remaining 342 pounds was divided among Joseph (the eldest son, who received a double portion), Ebenezer, Sarah Chapman, Elizabeth Barker, Mary Dresser, and Joanna Todd. It was determined that it was not practical to divide Joseph's real estate. On 27 April 1746, his son Joseph posted a bond obliging him to make payments to his brother Ebenezer, Edward Chapman in right of his wife Sarah, James Barker in right of his wife Elizabeth, David Dresser in right of his wife Mary, and Jeremiah Todd, in right of his wife Joanna.
