Joseph Mayo was born in 1692. He is the son of Joseph Mayo and Elizabeth Hooper. He was born after his father died, and was not christened for a number of years until 24 May 1703 in Poulshot, Wiltshire. From the way the christening record was written, it is not clear whether Joseph was born in Frome (in Somerset, England), or whether his father died there.[1][2]
Joseph and his brother William somehow made it to Barbados, for they both next appear in marriage records there. Joseph Mayo married Ann Carrington on 24 Sep 1716 in St Philip, Barbados.[3]
