On 25 Jan 1645 Joseph was baptized in St Peters, Thanet, Kent, England.
In about 1659 a young Joseph arrives in Virginia. No records have been found to show any close family came with him.
A Walter Costing deeded Joseph some land in 1665 and again in 1685. The land was adjoining the Richford Swamp in Norfolk County. It appears that Walter had no sons. In a 1716 deed Joseph Curling is referred to as "son" of Walter Costing, an appelation often meaning son-in-law or some other close, but non-familial, relationship.
More court Information (land, document witnessing & jurist) are found starting in the 1700s.
At some point Joseph marries Rebecca (surname unknown, was it Costing/Costen?). The couple are known to have had 5 children. All were born sometime after 1661, the are:
1. Nicholas, b aft 1661 - d. bef 1711
2. Anthony A. b. aft 1661 - d. 1752-53, m. Frances, 7 ch
3. Walter, b. aft 1661 - d. aft. 1718, m. Isabel
4. Joseph, b. aft 1661 - d. aft 1748, m. Isabelle Sikes, son Josiah
5. Ann, b. aft 1661 - d. aft 1718
Joseph owned property on the Elizabeth River, E of Richfod Swamp, lower Norfolk Co, VA. The family had a business making shingles.
In May 1718 he wrote his will naming his 5 children & wife as heirs. Probate began 17 Apr 1719.
Joseph's burial location is unknown, per the custom at the time it was probably in a family burial ground on the plantation.
