- ↑ The information about Joseph Smith is very confused. Some sources indicate he was born "East Sudbury" 26 Dec 1715 (here), but no such birth record is found in published VRs. Some sources say he is the son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Moses), bp. Ipswich 1 Jan 1715. Elizabeth, w. Joseph, d. Ipswich 1725 and her father's probate indicates she died without issue (see discussion Source:Davis, Walter Goodwin. Ancestry of Joseph Waterhouse, 1754-1837, of Standish, Maine, p. 79), so their son must not have survived, or the record was misrecorded. But that source shows Joseph m. (2) 1710 Joanna Fellows by whom records say he had children bp. in 1711, 1713, 1718, 1721, 1724, 1727, 1730, 1733, overlapping (conflicting with) the marriage of theabove couple. This suggests there are two Joseph Smiths being conflated here. It is believed Joseph is an unrecorded son of Joseph and Joanna Fellows, since the father's will names a son Joseph, and there is a gap in births where his estimated birth fits nicely. His birth may indeed be 26 Dec 1715 but a source is needed.
