    William's will raises questions regarding his relationship to the Langtons. Presumably he was Joseph's maternal uncle?

    Joseph Langton presented for evil usage of a little child of his wife, Lt. Samuell Apleton and John Whipple being feoffees in trust, and bound to prosecute him. The child was ordered to continue to live with his grandfather, William Varney, and his grandmother, until next Ipswich court.
    Note: Deposition dated 26 June 1652, Joseph Langton whipped the child to make it quiet, and upon deponent's asking why he used such a sticky rod, the small branches being worn off, said Langton whipped the child again. The child had to lie upon straw having but a piece of sailcloth or some such material in the cradle, and deponent saw water running down into the room where the child lodged. He could not remember if it had a pillow for its head.

    A good definition of "feoffee in trust" is needed. Feoffee generally seems to mean "in trust".

    Note: A Joseph Langton appeared at Newtown, Long Island, in 1656. At the time of his death in 1665, he was the "companion" of Hannah Bradish, daughter of Robert Bradish, but he had also had at least two children by a wife who was apparently deceased. There is no record of the son of Roger Lancton in New England after 1652, so this Newtown Joseph Langton may be the same man.

  11. ↑ Joseph's parents were not in Massachusetts until about 1633
  12. ↑ Joseph was still living in 1661 when his wife Rachel divorced him. She would not have needed a divorce if he were already deceased. One of the possible grounds for divorce available to Rachel would have been desertion; the other was adultery. Joseph seems to have done both.
