    "Joseph was born October 15, 1725 in Maryland.[1][2]

    In August 1727, he was "bound" to Charles Roberts until the age of 21 by action of the Prince George's County Court:[3]

    Joseph's will was transcribed and is included at Early Colonial Settlers of Southern Maryland and Virginia's Northern Neck Counties.
