The Platts originally settled in Hertfordshire, England and then migrated to the New World in 1639 and founded New Haven and Milford communities. Joseph's father was Deacon Richard Platt and his mother was Mary Wood. Joseph received a generous bequest in his father's will. "I give my son Joseph Platt all the remainder of my estate, housing, barnes, lands, meadows, corne, cattle, horses, mares, sheep, hogs, movables, he paying the legacyes above named & debts. I make my son Joseph Platt my executor of this my last Will." He was born in 1649 and was christened at the 1st Congregational Church of Milford on 1 April 1649. He married Mary Kellogg on 5 May 1680. In Richard's younger days he and a group of young men (George Clark, Joseph Northrup, Samuel Clark included) destroyed the Wepawaug Indians fort in 1671 as part of a silly prank. According to the record, it was done "with the utmost secrecy, at dead of night," and probably was vacant at the time. Their purpose in destroying the fort is not recorded. The young men were tried before the general court at New Haven and fined 10 pounds and afterward rebuilt their fort. Joseph was Lieutenant of the "eldest Train Band" at Milford, October 1698. He was Deputy from Milford to the Connecticut General Assembly May 1700. No will of Joseph is on record. His death date is usually given as 1703/1704, although the Kellogg genealogy says he died before 10 November 1703. Inventory was taken 21 March 1703/1704; Josiah Platt was one of the appraisers. Joseph's widow Mary and his son Joseph appointed administrators. Only oldest daughter Mary was of age. Joseph, the oldest son and his father's administrator, was still a minor. Other sons mentioned: Samuel, Epenetus, Gideon.
