Note: the family record gives the same date as above, but a "later hand", i.e., different handwriting, has added "[1696]". Joseph's birthdate may be found in a few places on the Internet as 4 Oct 1696, but the author suspects this annotation was added by a later descendant who did not understand Old Style dating, and thought it too close to the next birth (Wrestling, b. 8 Feb 1698[/99]).]
