This Joseph is mentioned in the will of Joseph, merchant of Boston, who was his uncle who apparently died in 1728.
It is unknown if the other spouse and children can be substantiated by the records, but the Harris text appears to indicate no surviving issue, except that it is noted that Joseph is no longer in the records searched.
The marriage to Elizabeth that is shown, timewise, could well have been after Magdalen's death, which is recorded, as noted above, in 1722. The entries on FamilySearch do show two wives for Joseph, but the children also need to be reconciled.
