    Will names sons Abraham, Luther, John, Hezekiah and Joseph (last four under age), and two daughters Huldah and Susannah. Luther, Huldah, and Joseph are listed in marriage record as being children of Joseph (Huldah and Joseph being in N. Providence), as is Orpha. In 1774, Joseph, Jr. indemnified the town of North Providence for the bastard child of Robe Hawkins by Levi Hoppen. (RI Gen Reg. - N. Providence town records). Assuming Robe was fairly young, and that Orpha married when she was in her early 20s, they would be the youngest daughters. It therefore seems possible they were left out of Joseph's will on those grounds.
