  • Notes 
    • Date of birth not known, probably 1635 (Rockwell Family, p. 44) He died in infancy.(Rockwell Family,p. 25)

      As stated in The Great Migration Begins (see source on other children) the existence of Joseph in this family is based on a pedigree prepared by Matthew Rockwell in 1731. There is no independent record for Joseph, so he either died young, or he was confused with Joseph, son or William's brother, Richard.
