Biography
Joseph was born in 1702, son of Joseph Tryon and his wife Lydia [1]. He married Sarah Treat March 13, 1728/9 [2].
In 1736 Jeremiah Hollister built a saltbox house on the south side of Main Street in South Glastonbury, which he sold to Joseph Tryon in 1739. The house still stands. Photographs of the house can be seen at Historic Buildings of Connecticut.
Joseph Tryon died on 11 April 1771 and was buried in Green Cemetery at Glastonbury [3] [4].
Research Notes
Note that the entry in Tryon Family in America by Wes Tryon is wrong on many counts from who his children are (mixed with children of his son), to where he lived (not on "John Tom Hill"), to conflating his wife Sarah with Sarah Gibbs, wife of a different Joseph Tryon.
Joseph is one of three Tryon patriarchs in Glastonbury. Michael D Tryon has assembled the descendants of Joseph and the other two here relying upon US Census records 1790-1850 and other documents. See: Space:Tryon_Families_of_Glastonbury_CT_from_1790-1850
The primary secondary source for this Joseph Tryon is the scholarly work by Lynn B. McManus, "New Research Regarding the Family of Joseph Tryon and Sarah Treat of Glastonbury, Connecticut," The Connecticut Nutmegger, December 2011. It is thorough and well documented and those primary sources are accessible, though the article itself is behind a paywall. I (profile manager Mike Tryon) have the article and checked those sources and all that is presented here in this profile and in that article have been checked and are in accord.

The core of it is that children of Joseph's son Joseph (b abt 1738) have been attributed to the elder Joseph (b 1702).
