There is (another?) Joseph Robert whom I am not able to place in an extended family.
He married Abigail Vanhorne (sic) on April 14, 1785.
She must fit into the Barent Van Horn tree somewhere..

Here is the reference for the marriage:

Keep in mind: James Roberts of Southampton's first born child came into this world in 1791.

Let us guess then that James Roberts of Northampton was at least 18... Then 1791-18 = 1773.... In other words Jane would have had to become pregnant c. 1772
