  3. Several birth years for Joseph and his siblings are unreadable due to damage to the page. The compilers have added their guesses in brackets. The guess is clearly wrong in Nathaniel's case (which has no question mark). Joseph's and Henry's guesses are accompanied by question marks, Joseph's being 1 Jul 1783, Henry being 1 Dec 1785. Joseph's age at death works out exactly to 1 Jul 1786, but is apparently wrong. Besides the fact that Henry's census data appears to suggest Henry's birth is 1 Dec 1786, too close to allow Joseph to be born in 1786, Joseph's own census data appears to suggest that 1783 may be correct (particularly 1810 which gives his age as 26-44, so born 1784 or earlier) and the age at death is wrong.
