Nena, Just rec'd this from Judy: HI: Don't have any marriage data for Joseph
and Mary, however I do have a note of a deed or sale of property.... Think
this is for King George Co. 12/23/1758, sold 100 acres with wf Mary, sold
150 acres to Col. Chs Carter; probably Moved with other family members to
Frederick Co at this time.

Hope this helps--I know it's not much, but it does prove that his wife, in
1758 was a Mary, not Huldah Hiatt.
