Joseph Ives was born in New Haven Colony 16 Apr 1647 the second son of William and Hannah (Dickerman) Ives. On Tuesday, 2 Jan 1672 he married Mary Yale, daughter of Capt. Thomas Yale, a merchant in New Haven, CT, (ca 1616-27 Mar 1683) and Mary Turner (ca 1626-15 Oct 1704). Mary Yale was born in New Haven Colony on Saturday, October 26, 1650. At the age of 35, Mary was baptized in First Congregational Society, New Haven, on 27 Dec 1685 as an adult.
Joseph Ives and Mary Yale Ives “removed to Wallingford where he was a Signer of The Wallingford Agreement; returning to North Haven three years later. A list of the proprietors of New Haven, Connecticut, in 1685 includes Joseph Ives (the only person named Ives) and John Yale and Nathaniel Yale. [2] At their house the people met for public worship on the Sabbath, until they became able to build a meeting house. Mr. Ives was Captain of the first train-band in the place.” [5] She died in New Haven, Connecticut Colony, in 1704 while he died ten years earlier in North Haven, Connecticut Colony, on November 17, 1694 after they had ten children together.
Joseph Ives, second son of Captain William Ives, married, January 2, 1672-73 (old style), Mary Yale, born April 16, 1650, daughter of Thomas Yale, a merchant in New Haven, and Mary (Turner) Yale, daughter of Captain Nathaniel Turner, who was lost in the "Phantom Ship" which sailed from the port of New Haven early in January. 1647, and never returned.[10]
Mary Yale was a first cousin of Governor Elihu Yale who gave to Yale College its name, in consequence of munificent donations presented by him, he being at the time a resident of London and ex-governor of Madras of the East Indies. It was long supposed that Elihu and Mary Yale were brother and sister and President Stiles so gives it, but recent careful researches by Professor Dexter, of Yale, have proven that the fathers of Elihu and Mary were brothers. Joseph Ives died November 17, 1694. [12]
Trained Bands
The Trained Bands were under an obligation to muster on a regular schedule for actual training and exercises with their arms in the field. Throughout the pre-constitutional period from the mid-1600s to the late 1700s, Rhode Island designated the largest and most active components of her Militia the “Trained Bands” (or “Train Bands”), which comprised the infantry and (in much smaller numbers) the “Troops”, which comprised the cavalry. The Trained Bands were also known as “Companies” or “Companies of Militia”.
The term “trained band” was not original to Rhode Island (or any other American Colony), but derived from the usage of those words in England during the 1500s and 1600s to refer to local militia. Often, in pre-constitutional usage, the nouns “militia” and “trained band” were treated as synonyms—as in Johnson’s Dictionary, which defined “militia” as “[t]he trainbands; the standing force of a nation”, and “trainbands” as “[t]he militia; the part of a community trained to martial exercise”. And not infrequently today as well, the designation “trained band” is equated with “the militia” as a whole. But as Rhode Island’s pre-constitutional legislation proves, that attribution of equivalence is erroneous, because her “Trained Bands”, strictly so-called, actually encompassed only one portion of the part of her Militia that was subject to regular training and service in the field, the other portions of that part being the Troops of Horse, and to a far lesser degree the Companies of Artillery, along with the Independent Companies of infantry, cavalry, and even artillery.
Early Militia statutes mandated training for all men from sixteen to sixty years of age—
• [1665] “all men from sixteene years of age to sixtye yeares old * * * , both masters, parents, sones, sarvants and others, excepting such as are in publicke office, or are by former lawes exempted”, are required to “find themselves armes and traine in their owne persons”;
• [1677] “noe person or persons within this Collony from the age of sixteen yeares unto the age of sixty yeares, shall be released from taininge or other duties in millitary affaires, exceptinge only the civill officers in this Collony, or such whose employments render them excusable by law, unless he or they doe render or give under their Captaine * * * a good and full satisfactory reason for their neglect” [4]
