Multiple historians have contacted me about who was Joseph's wife. For your information all of their viewpoints are shown below for your review and assessment.

One local historian claims that Joseph married a Sarah who is buried next to Joseph. This fact has been disproved by Sarah's death certificate and further validated by census info. The Sarah buried next to Joseph was his niece and was never married.

Other historians claim that Joseph's only wife was Frances P. Watt who is buried in another cemetery.
Here is their information to show that Frances was Joseph's wife.
"The 1850 census does show a J L Bane in Washington living with his wife Frances and children John, Arthur, F N, Catharine, Calvin and M L. Living next to the family was Sebastin (50)& Elizabeth Bane (61).
The 1860 Washington county census shows a Joseph L Bane (born abt 1812) a tax collector, with a wife Frances (b. abt 1816) and children Arthur, Cathrine, James C, Mary L & Charlotte. They were living next to Sebastain Bane age 60 a farmer."
