• Notes

  In 1764, he and brother Hugh chose James to be their guardian as their father had died. Joseph was apparently too young to ask for James as his guardian so the court appointed James for him. James is likely to be their brother. Only thungest sons asked for guardianship. He moved to SC with his mother and several of his siblings.
