↑ Joel had no wife listed in the 1830 Census. He and his children were living with his mother.
↑ ^3.0 ^3.1 Bethena and Julia were the oldest of the minor children named in Joel's probate records. They are presumably the 2 young girls in his household in the 1840 Census. They could be the children of Joel's last wife, married in 1838, but the timing is tight. Alternately, they could be the children of a previous wife, possibly Catherine, although so far she is not known to be the mother of any other children.
