m. - Joseph Sanderson1714 -
Facts and Events
His mother claimed that his father was Joseph Sanderson (1680-c.1736), which is why he used the surname Sanderson. However, DNA testing has shown that he was not a Sanderson, but likely the son of a Lakin.[4]

- ↑ By process of elimination he could not have been the Joseph born 1680, since that man's estate was being administered in 1736. He could not have been either of than man's sons named Joseph, the first being born in 1721/22 and apparently dying soon; the second born in 1726/27, he being too young. That leaves the Joseph born 1714, the illegitimate son of the first Joseph and Bethiah Kemp.
