I have detached the unsourced Joseph as a child - the Great Migration Directory indicates Joseph Farnsworth of Dirchester's origins are unknown and according to Glen R. Nye, these parents did not have a recorded son named Joseph. See

M. F. Farnsworth, & Glen R. Nye, "Farnsworth memorial II : second edition of the "Farnsworth memorial," (1897, rev'd 1974), 19; images, FamilySearch, (https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/viewer/487070 : accessed 12 Feb 2023).

If there is a source for this relationship, please post a comment on the profile for Joseph citing the source so we can get this sorted out.

Farnsworth-142 and Farnsworth-626 appear to represent the same person because: Farnsworth-626 is an orphaned profile with no siblings, spouses or children and only one parent. The single parent agrees with 142 with the addition of the surname. The birth information agrees. The conflicting death dates should be noted in the discussion.
