    Joseph Holmes [#11], s/o Rev. John Holmes and Mary Wood, b. Duxbury 9 Jul 1665, d. Kingston 26 Jun 1753 [sic, appears to be a typo since will is shown written and proved in 1733, but the age at death was clearly based on the 1753 date], m. (1) Sarah Sprague, m. (2) Mary Brewster.
    [Note: this source appears to be the source of the birthdate of 9 Jul 1665, since the date is not found in records, and it is roughly a month off from what is calculated based on the age at death. Vinton was aware of the children who died young, something he could only know based on family records, and perhaps this birthdate also comes from family records?]
