page 112, "WINTHROP (Joseph, Joseph, John, John) Born Jan. 30, 1749 at Salisbury, Mass. His father was killed at Crown Point in the French and Indian War. On Dec. 2, 1770 he married Elizabeth Mace. Among the court records that are preserved in the files at the Historical Library at Concord, N. H., is a marriage license that Winthrop was convicted of forging. He was brought before the Supreme Court at Portsmouth, N. H., on the first Tuesday in February, 1771. In a trial by jury, Samuel Brooks, foreman, he pleaded guilty and "put himself on the mercy of the Court." Winthrop was fined 8œ. 7S. 9d. He presented the forged license to Samuel Perley, minister, and was married to Elizabeth Mace. No further information is definitely known about this family, although they may have had a son, Nathan, who lived in Vershire, Vermont. Winthrop may have participated in the Revolution, for a Winthrop Clough of Haverhill, Mass., was at Ticonderoga in 1776 and this man is the only Winthrop whos dates correspond correctly.".
