If Joseph Seabury's wife is Phebe Fobes, they are also step-siblings.

Joseph's mother, Martha Pabodie, married Joseph's father, Samuel Seabury in 1677, and then married Lt. William Fobes after Samual Seabury's death in 1681.

Phebe's father was Lt. William Fobes; her mother was his presumed first wife, Elizabeth Southworth. Joseph was a young child at the time, and if Phebe is the daughter of Lt. William Fobes first wife, she too would have been very young at the time Martha and her father married. Samuel and Phebe would have grown up together as siblings, and would be quite unlikely to marry.

Joseph is referenced as "son-in-law" in his father-in-law/step-father's will, and he is an executor of the will.S1 As noted on the talk page for Phebe Fobes Person talk:Phebe Fobes (1), in this time son-in-law would be an appropriate phrase for use with a stepson. These reasons make it quite probable that Joseph Seabury really did marry a Phebe Smith, not Phebe Fobes. See also Family talk:William Fobes and Elizabeth Southworth (1) for additional discussion about whether this marriage actually occurred.
