Hopkins is billed by Joseph Bucklin for thick planking for the Brigantine
Providence including 46 feet of keel at 3 shillings a foot, and the wages of
"Prince @4 [pounds]" pounds per day. Presumably "Prince was a skilled slave, for
Prince was a name of a Bucklin slave, who worked 6 days on ship repairs
for Esek.. The wage of 4 pounds a day though, sounds excessive for a day's labor
of a slave, so something more may be involved.

62. Henry R. Chace, "Henry Chace Papers," MSS 338, box 1, f 21, Joseph
Bucklin is shown on the list of those who had property at risk of fire in the
compact part of Providence. The assessments for fire protection were based on
the value of the property. Joseph Bucklin was assessed 20 pounds, which was one
of the larger amounts assessed. Compare the substantial merchant Obadiah Brown
assessed 40 pounds, who at the who operated a rum distillery, an iron furnace, a
spermaceti candle works factory and merchant activities including the slave
trade. [Chace Papers, box 1, f. 6] In the tax assessor's view in 1779, Joseph's
house stood next to that of Sam Butler, whose property was described by the
assessor as "A tolerable good house and wharf well furnished." When the
assessors went next to Joseph's property, they described it as "A House better
than the former --- Wharf Store ;& Block makers Shop -- all good and compleat --
and Stable. Next door the assessors noted the building of Bucklin and Donnison
which the assessors described as "House &c 4.th[sic] order with a Wharf Lot"
Joseph's House was described as being .the third lot from the river, beginning
at the bridge, on the West side of the river, on the North side of Westminster
Street. The nature of his being both a ship owner and merchant is illustrated by
his designation as "mariner" but being taxed for " a house, store, block making
shop & wharf, all good and complete, and a stable" at the "N. Sd. Market" in
1770.. Joseph Bucklin's home is listed in Kinsley Cooper's remarkable 1771
inventory of the houses of Providence.
