Here is what STacy's book on the Dorchester Society says about Joseph
Lord.

"Their first pastor was Rev. Joseph Lord who came out with the colony
From New England.  He was of Charleston Mass; born June 30, 1672;
graduated at Harvard College in 1691, adn was teaching school in
Dorchestore, and studying Theology under Rev. John Danforth, at the
time of his ordination, October 22, 1695.  He remained with his
people, as pastor over twenty years, after which he returned to
Massachuestts, and on 15 June 1720 he was installed pastor of the
church in Chatham, where he died June 6, 1748 after preaching to that
people 28 years."

The history doesn't mention if Mr. Lord married or had any children.
