Research Notes

• Removed Colony, Anderson, Kansas Territory as place of death (26 Jan 2022). Kansas Territory opened for settlement by persons of European descent in 1854.^[16]
• The information about his parents and siblings was moved to a separate category. The WikiTree ID numbers have changed on some profiles due to merges. BJS
• As it appears that Joseph married Susannah Mary (Woody) Parsons (1720-1810) on 12 Feb 1750, the marriages and children may need to be investigated further to verify the mother.^[17][18]
• From the items in Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, 1750 - 1930, by William Wade Hinshaw, p. 201 (Parsons) & p. 219 (Woody), the marriage of Joseph and Mary Woodson may not have taken place. In Jan 1746/47, Joseph and Mary Woodson declared their intent of marriage. However, in Feb of 1747, there were several "charges" against Joseph that he could not satisfactorily clear, so he was not allowed to proceed with the intent of marriage to Mary Woodson.
• Another source was found for the marriage of a Joseph Parsons to a Mary Woodson that is said to have taken place on 10 Dec 1746 in Henrico County, Virginia.^[19] No actual document image was available to see exactly the situation. It could have been another reference to the intent of marriage. Is there a source that verifies the marriage took place in May?
• Opinion: Based on the marriage sources listed above, the biography section which is presented above with the children assigned to a couple should probably be removed as, to me, it does not appear to be in sync with the actual linked parents. BJS
