    'Joseph ([son of] Joseph, [son of] John, [son of] Thomas), b. July 29, 1708, Norwalk, Ct.; m. May 8, 1732, Susannah -----; m. 2d, -----; m. 3d, Lydia -----. He res. near the village of Cross Roads, in the town of South Salem; justice of the peace. Lydia d. Feb. 24, 1791, aged 75 years; he d. July 17, 1793. By his three wives he had 23 ch., most of whom d. under age. The names of the following only have been ascertained, who with the exception of the first three are mentioned in his will, proved Nov. 6, 1793.' This is followed by the names of 9 children, including Joseph, b. Feb. 17, 1732 for which it is indicated there is no record of his descendants. The first 3 children were born 1732 to 1736, and the next (the start of the list of children in the will) was born 1754.

    Given that the same source gives Joseph's death date as 25 Mar 1790 (p. 51), and that the fourth child listed was born in 1754, it is possible that the author has confused this Joseph with his son Joseph.
