    [Note: Root Genealogical Records says of father: "He removed from Northampton to Northfield, Mass., where he settled with other persons from the former place about 1685, but the settlement was broken up by the Indians, and he returned to Northampton". So, son Joseph may have possibly been born in Northfield, but is recorded in Northampton and listed there by Root Genealogical Records.]
