On 22 November 1785 Joseph married Sarah Ball at Bridgwater Quaker Meeting House, Somerset. The Quaker marriage record describes him as of Kingsbridge, Devon, son of John Hingston of Kingsbridge, merchant, and Rachael; and her as daughter of Joseph Ball of Bridgewater, grocer, and Susanna (Susanna Reynolds[1]).[3] They had two children:

Joseph's first wife Sarah died on 6 April 1790 and was buried at Bridgwater Quaker burial ground, Somerset on 12 April.[8][9]

On 23 September 1796 Joseph married again. His second wife was Catharine Phillips Tregelles. They married at Falmouth Quaker Meeting House, Cornwall. The Quaker marriage record describes him as of Kingsbridge, Devon, son of John Hingston of Kingsbridge; and her as Joseph Tregelles, deceased merchant of Falmouth, and Sarah (Sarah Hingston[1]).[10] They had nine children, of whom two sons and five daughters survived childhood:[1]

Joseph died on 30 April 1835 at Plymouth, Devon, and was buried at Plymouth Quaker burial ground on 8 May. The Quaker death and burial record gives his age at death as 71 and describes him as a merchant.[31][32] His will, dated 4 February 1829, with a codicil of 30 July 1832, was proved on 12 September 1835. In it he:[33][34]

  • described himself as a banker of Plymouth, Devon
