Original Mayflower passenger. Commissioned to Plymouth Colony Militia in 1667.

23 Jan 1602/3 o.s. is the date for the baptism of Joseph, son of Thomas as recorded in the parish records in Watford. The birth year of 1607 on the memorial plaque is likely from the list of Mayflower passengers where he is said to be 12 years old. The 12 may be a misread of 17 in the original document that has been carried through to the present and is frequently seen in secondary sources for his vitals.
