[Much of this page was first launched as a section of Armytage2 on 04.05.13 when FMG was the only source used. It was moved here for review & expansion using Crisp. Note that the pages in FMG on this family immediately follow those used for the upper section of Armytage2.]

Crisp shows that Joseph had children by Sarah Savil but does not follow his line. FMG provides a continuation that has to be pieced-together from notes as shown below but suggests that he died c1704 and that the mother of his eldest son, Richard, was a Martha. The following combines this data.
