Joseph, Samuel, Phineas, Isaac, Azubah, Mindwell, Dorothy, my ancestor Lucy and Joseph (He was one month old when his older brother Joseph was killed by Indians. At that time a child was not named until the parents thought the child would survive. It was possible the Joseph did not have a name until after his brother Joseph died. He was probably named after him)
