Joseph Smith died in Canterbury, Connecticut, on 5 September 1765.[1]

Every little twig helps build big trees! I would be happy to see you add more people to this family...
These Smiths aren't my blood relatives, but rather are relatives by marriage that I got mildly curious about, then saw opportunities to connect. (Specifically, Joel Smith was the first husband of a 4G grandmother in my paternal grandmother's family, and I realized today that the Ebenezer Smith who married the sister of somebody in my paternal grandfather's lines was from this same family. They are the sons of Mary Jewett who married John Smith.) I have no possessive feelings towards these people.
The Canterbury town records in the Barbour Collection provide a rather solid basis for the marriage of Joseph and Elisabeth, the births of their children, and their deaths. Did you find actual evidence that this Joseph was the one born in Cambridge in 1687? (I get twitchy around FamilySearch pedigrees.)
