Occupation	Joseph attended the National School at West Pennant Hills. When he was 14, he started work at £5/5/- a week, first at Parramatta, then at his uncle James Smith's store at the later-known Thompson's Corner. He had sailed up the coast to Grafton on the 'Agnes Irving' to cut cedar with another uncle, William Bellamy, and had driven cattle from Grafton to the Murrumbidgee. Several times Joseph made trips to Mooney Creek splitting shingles with his father and Thomas Thompson.
Religion	Joseph and his wife Sarah were active members of the West Pennant Hills Methodist Church, and helped in the establishment of the Thornleigh Methodist Church of which Joseph became a Foundation Trustee in 1907.
Property	In 1883 Joseph bought 17 acres (part of the original Thorn grant) (in the present Stevens Street, Pennant Hills) from his sister-in-law Mrs Martha Stevens (I49141) who inherited it from her father James Bellamy. On this land Joseph planted a 10 acre orchard and named it 'Rosemount'. At that time large areas of Pennant Hills and Thornleigh were still dense bush, and neighbours were few. Neighbours were Major Dunn and John Boyles (who were on the southern side of Rosemount, William Aiken further south across Pennant Hills Road, and Caleb Gambling.
Occupation	Joseph became a Fruit Commission Agent at the Bathurst Street Produce Markets, and at first, before the railway was built, walk the eight miles to Parramatta to catch the 5 am train to the city. He became one of the first directors of the Fruit Exchange, and carried on business there for 46 years.
Retirement	When Joseph retired from active business in about 1922, the 'Rosemount' estate was subdivided and sold for £220 per block. Maple Avenue and Rosemount Avenue were created, and Shields Lane now (1979) marks the route from Pennant Hills Station to the Shields family home.
