General Notes
Joseph was not born in Bolton, but was in Little Bolton in 1817 when he died, aged 70. Also, there are no Bolton baptisms of children of father Joseph so he must be from elsewhere. He married 1772, but no children found until 1787 (14 yrs missing)
Joseph possibly came from Warrington, (with Wife Margery, and Alice, Saml) or Manchester (with wife Betty, and Mary, Thomas) or (with wife Ann and Sarah), although there are other possibilities.
Since he named a son Zacharias, it is assumed he is the son of Zacharias Mather (of Tong - tbc), a very uncommon name!
Joseph and
Martha were married in a religious ceremony on November 13th, 1772 at
St. Peter's (Bolton) witnessed by Thomas Vickars & James Livesey.
3 They had two sons and two daughters, named
Samuel,
Zacharias,
Hannah and
Elizabeth. There are possibly more children.
