JOSEPH WHITFIELD was born 1790 and would have been about 49 years
old in 1839.  His wife, Sarah Martin listing in census indicate she was
born about 1791.  Joseph and Sarah married in 1814.  I think that month
old baby could have been theirs.  Also it possibly was illegitimate baby
of their dau Elizabeth age 23 in 1839.
