Citation Note: Maternal Attribution Clarification Note: The listed birth years of several children attributed to Sarah Joyce (b. 1722) and Benjamin Blackiston (b. 1713) precede the plausible childbearing age of Sarah Joyce. Specifically, children such as Ebenezer (b. 1728), William (b. 1728 and 1733), and John (b. 1735) were born when Sarah would have been between 6 and 13 years old, which is biologically implausible. This suggests that Benjamin Blackiston likely had a prior marriage, and these older children were born to his first wife. Sarah Joyce may have been his second wife, with plausible maternity for younger children such as Hannah (b. 1740), George (b. 1744), and Priscilla (d. 1812). Supporting this interpretation, Sarah Joyce’s will (dated 8 Jan 1764, proved 21 Jan 1764) mentions only her son George and several grandchildren, but not the older children listed. Researchers should treat the maternal attribution of children born before 1740 with caution and seek additional documentation to confirm relationships.
