Joseph was a Mennonite Minister in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. He later became a cooper (the old term for "coppersmith"). He may have been the leader of the Mennonites who settled in Brother's Valley. He was certainly one of the important members of the community. He is mentioned several times in Christian Newcomer's Journal. Gundy and Newcomer evidently became good friends. On one occasion, Newcomer wrote in his Journal under date of 27 October 1798 "I stayed this night with a Mennonite Preacher named Gundy; our souls immediately flowed together in love." Newcomer appears to have stayed with Joseph Gundy whenever he visited Somerset County. It may have been through Newcomer's influence that Joseph left the Mennonites and became the minister of the United Brethren Church in Ohio. He and Veronica are buried in Conotton Cemetery.

Christian Newcomer again wrote in his Journal on September 3, 1807, "traveling west from Frankford, leaving Joseph Crisup's, I again pursued my journey; rode all day across a very mountainous part of the country; stopped at a public house to get refreshments for myself and beast. After we had recruited our strength, I set off with the intention of reaching Joseph Gundy's. When I arrived at the place where he formerly lived, I found he had removed to the western country, but found his son-in-law lived at the place. Both young people rejoiced to see me and entertain me with the greatest pleasure."
