fact sources and writings about this individual: Research of Kevin Everingham of MI, 2006 & 2022;

This whole family (Joseph, Mary and 2 daughters) died at young ages.

from other researchers information (not my research); William Richardson Thurston was the son Peleg Thurston (1700-1770) and Amy Richardson (1730-1791) This is the most agreed upon "but this is in dispute, his parents have been identified by others as; Peleg Thurston and Sarah Borden"... William had a brother John & a sister Elizabeth and was a grandson of Thomas Thurston (1671-1730) and Mehitable Tripp (1675-1738). This info says that Thomas & Mehitable married June 23, 1695 in Freetown, Bristol, MASS, and may have had as many as a dozen children.
