- Source:Reed, Jacob Whittemore. History of the Reed Family in Europe and America, p. 78, horribly conflates Joseph of Woburn with Joseph of Sudbury. The part of the entry that appears to apply to Joseph of Woburn is son of Joseph and Phebe, b. Woburn 22 Jun 1698, m. "Sarah Reed, daughter of Daniel and Sarah, his first cousin, Jan. 1, 1729, by whom he had Joseph born in Woburn. He died March 6, 1730, at Woburn, by some prevailing epidemic which carried off several of the family. ... died at the house of his father at Woburn Westside, at the place known, in the present century, as the Sylvanus Wood Farm." The facts about Indian fighting may also apply. The part that appears to apply to Joseph of Sudbury is m. Sarah Rice of Sudbury, Nov. 26, 1723. Children: Bethia, 1 Aug 1725, John, 1728. The son James given in this entry does not belong to either family (being this person), but the Joseph of Sudbury has other children than mentioned by Reed. If Reed had been aware of whole set of births, he would have realized this was two separate couples.
