Holt's precaution regarding confused ancestral record is correct. Further research suggests that Holt's personal and descendant content for Joseph Beardsley (Record #153, Pg. 83) is correct, but his parentage is not. See A History of the Old Town of Stratford and the City Bridgeport, Part II: Genealogies and William Beardsley of Stratford, Connecticut & his Descendants. See also Joseph's father, Samuel Beardsley, Holt Record #35, Pg. 25.
