Facts and Events
Who are Joseph's Parents?
We know Joseph's date of death and approximate date of birth from his gravestone in Northborough, MA. We also find his marriage to Elizabeth Holloway and the birth of four children in the Massachusetts vital records of Marlborough and Westborough, but no record of a Joseph born on 14 Mar 1691. Based on dates, wives, wills and other sources, this Joseph is not a good match with any of the others in the table below.
