    "Joseph is next seen marrying in Roxbury on 3 Dec. 1641 'Mary Tompsonn.' There is good reason to believe that this is the Mary Tompson baptized at Preston Capes, Northants, 14 Nov. 1619, to John and Alice (Freeman) Tompson (TAG 13:1-8; 14:145 f.). Arguments for this identification of Joseph's wife are given by Mary Holman (Ancestry of Colonel John Harrington Stevens and his wife Frances Helen Miller, pp. 422 f.), with support from Donald Lines Jacobus (TAG 32:128). Further supporting circumstantial evidence lies in the Rhode Island land records, where we find that on 7 June 1671 Joseph Wise of Roxbury sells to Deacon William Parke of Roxbury half of a 600 acre tract in Providence. After the document was drawn up, it was discovered that an error in the bounds had to be corrected. This correction was made and signed by Joseph Wise Senior and by Samuel Williams 'for his father Deacon William Park.' William Parke was son of Robert Parke of Roxbury by his first wife, and was therefore stepbrother of Mary Tompson, daughter of John and Alice (Freeman) Tompson. Samuel Williams, who had married Theoda Parke, daughter of William, was brother of Stephen Williams who had married Sarah, daughter of Joseph Wise. Two years later Joseph Wise sold the other half of this tract to Caleb Lamb and Stephen Williams (Rhode Island Land Evidences vol. 1 (1648-1696). pp. 40 f., 81."
