Unfortunately, I have nothing else about Joseph and Sarah. However, their families had been in the Ipswich area for several generations, so I searched for information about Ipswich, which seems to go by Old Ipswich these days. We have quite a few ancestors from this area.
Virtual tour of Ipswich has lots of photos of the area. These towns that were around since before the American Revolution are very proud of their history, and I have found some interesting information by reading articles like this.
Also, if you do a Google search of The History of Ipswich, Essex, and Hamilton you will find a link to a book written in 1835 by Joseph B. Felt. This book can be read online or downloaded for free. (Sorry, the link I have doesn't seem to work directly; this was the best route I could find.)
