  Notes	"Mansfield Genealogy - Descendants of Robert and Elizabeth Mansfield and Sons Andrew and Joseph who came to Lynn 1639-1640" compiled by Geneva A. Daland & James S. Mansfield, M.D., 1980 (p.10). . Pages 13-14: "Joseph inherited, by his father's will, the old homestead on Boston Street, where he no doubt lived and died. He was constable of Lynn, 10 JUN 1700, as appears from an item of that date in the "Lynn Town Account Book of Debts." ---- From the "Wall Family Tree" database on Ancestry.com: . JOSEPH MANSFIELD (second of the name) son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Needham) Mansfield, was born about 1655 or 1656. He deposed on the 25th of March 1682 that he was then about 26 years of age. According to the Lynn record he was born 20: 1 m, 1660 (20 March 1660/1) eleven months before his mother's death. That he was older than his brother John (whose birth is not recorded) is shown from the order of listing in their father's will and in that of their grandfather Needham, and the grandfather (in or about 1676) called John the grandson "which I have brought up since his childhood till now he is about 15 years old." It would seem that the Lynn record applied to John, not to Joseph. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jstevens1&id=I2442
