Person talk:Joseph Small (4)

Evidence needed for wife Mercy

There is a marriage record for Joseph Small in Harwich to Mercy Godfrey in 1766. The problem is that according to Descendants of Edward Small, Joseph's father moved to Maine about 1750, begging the question why this is presumed to be the same person? Also, the 1766 date would have him marrying at age 18, 3 years before he attained legal age and could own land. The 1934 edition of Desc. of Edw. Small, p. 121, shows Joseph Small, s/o Benjamin Small and Patience Baker, b. about 1742, as the one who married Mercy Godfrey. This is part of the Small family that actually lived in Harwich. I am removing this Joseph from Family:Joseph Smalley and Mercy Godfrey (1). --Jrich 17:28, 1 January 2012 (EST)

Moving descendant record [27 October 2010]

Moved the following descendant record from Person:Joseph Small (4) because it is confusing and hard to read - also, the family tree feature should show this descendancy? If you feel it should be on the person page, go ahead and put it back, but please try to provide line breaks/etc. so it is more clear what is being shown?
