[This source says Lydia m. (2) Joseph, the son of Joseph, but per Abington VRs, p. 2:182, "Joseph Jr." m. 1 Nov 1750 Sarah Whitmarsh, just 6 months after "Joseph" m. Lydia Tower. The focus of this source is, after all, on the Tower side of things and probably did not analyze the death record of Joseph Sr.'s second wife, or the birth records of Joseph Jr. and Sarah.]
