Biography
According to "Notes on the Josselyn Family, of Massachusetts," published in 2014, Thomas "was probably the son of Abraham and Beatrice Josselyn."[1] An article published earlier reports that "Thomas, blacksmith,...was a juror at Plymouth, July 1680...living in Little Compton 1686."
The 1694 quitclaim Thomas jointly filed with Abraham and Beatrice's sons, his brothers Henry and Joseph, confirms the familial relationships.[2]
Thomas Joslin was born Abt. January 1657/58 in Scarborough, Cumberland County, Maine,[citation needed] and died 1722 in East Greenwich, Kent County, Rhode Island. He married MARY VAUGHN December 21, 1681 in Kent County, Rhode Island. She was born Abt. 1660 in Newport County, Rhode Island, and died 1701 in Kingston, Washington County, Rhode Island. Mary Vaughn was the widow of David Vaughn
Children of THOMAS JOSLIN and MARY VAUGHN are:
- THOMAS2 JOSLIN, b. 1682.
- ISAAC JOSLIN, b. 1684.
- SAMUEL JOSLIN, b. 1686.
- HENRY VAUGHN JOSLIN, b. 1696.

Research Notes
- Miss French's article suggests Thomas was born at Scarborough, but the Josselyns located there at the time were sons of Sir Thomas Josselyn, Deputy Governor.

Also, if she was born in 1660 she would have been too young to be the wife of David Vaughan and mother of his son, John who is estimated to have been born in 1671. She would have only been 11 at the time of John's birth and 10 when she married David.
