Joseph Lancaster, the youngest son,married Lois Nichols of Pennsylvania Dutch. They lived in Oxford County.He taught school for a time then qualified for a Doctor. When his father
died, he inherited a farm of about two hundred acres of land. He practised
as a Doctor in that district for sometime, but being among relatives he
didn't get pay for services so decided to go to another place. Some
relatives had gone to Middlesex County. He rented the farm, then with his
wife and son Thomas, he moved to a small village by the name of Lambeth,
then built a house and lived there for some years. He had a successful
practice. They had a family of four sons and three daughters. His wife, Lois
died. His mother-in-law, Mrs. Nichols, then a widow, lived with him and
cared for his family. The sons then grown up and ready to go out for
themselves; Thomas, a farmer, stayed at home; William Harvey married and
went to Kansas later; David Henry chose to be a Doctor; Joseph Jr. died
young and not yet married.

Doctor Lancaster, then married again, settled in London, then a
small city about eight miles from Lambeth. There he had a large practice in
the city and country. The daughters lived with their father.
