Joseph Smith was an early settler of Connecticut.
Biography
Jacobus refers to the third child of Thomas Smith and Elizabeth Patterson as Joseph, probably the “child” born 1667, died 1713, who married Hannah Morris, the daughter of John Morris and Hannah Bishop. Jacobus lists eight children for the couple and they have many descendants.[1]
Dodd’s East Haven Register indicates that the infant born in 1667 died young, and includes a son Joseph born in 1688, which would not make sense if there was a living child Joseph who had been born in 1667.[2]
"Ecclesiastical and other Sketches of Southington, Conn., Rev. Hemon R. Timlow, Hartford: Press of the Case, Lockwood and Brainard Co, 1875" lists only one Joseph, born 1688, son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Pattison) Smith. "Families of Ancient New Haven," Donald Lines Jacobus, 1931, lists Sgt Joseph Smith, born 1667/1668 as son of the same parents. Birth, marriage and death dates indicate that It is unlikely that there were two sons by the same name.
yDNA tests of two male Smith descendants of this couple[3], are a good match to other descendants of Thomas Smith and Elizabeth Patterson, giving us confidence that this Joseph was the son of Thomas Smith and Elizabeth Patterson.
DNA
Paternal relationship is confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA testing. William Waugh Smith, FTDNA kit #95454, and his 6th cousin four times removed, the son of Donald Gary Smith, FTDNA kit #792922, match at a Genetic Distance of 4 on 67 markers thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA Thomas Smith. FTDNA indicates that the probability the two share a common ancestor within the last 8 generations is 85.95% and within the last 9 generations is 90.45%.
