Dave Farmer, I am interested to see if we might have Farmers in common. I have a Dorcas Farmer, b. 1762 (possibly in Bedford, NH), who married Ephraim Stevens. Finding her family has been a great frustration, but I recently learned they had a son named Joseph Farmer Stevens. I believe this may be in honor of the Joseph who is the son of Thomas and Sarah (Hunt) Farmer that you've identified. They died in Hollis, which is near where Ephraim and Dorcas lived. Do you know more about Joseph1 and Joseph2? I've read someplace where Joseph1 may in fact be Joseph2, that they appear separate being the result of a clerical error. Can you tell me anything more about them? I assume you know the line up from Thomas. If not, let me know, and I'll share what I have with you.
