Morrison, Leonard Allison, and Stephen Paschall Sharples. History of the Kimball family in America, from 1634 to 1897: and of its ancestors the Kemballs or Kemboldes of England, with an account of the Kembles of Boston, Massachusetts. (Boston, MA: Damrell & Upham, 1897), 43.

link Joseph Kimball b 1662 d before 1699. "Joseph Kimball of Bradford, bound himself, the the consent of his mother Mary Kimball for three years to Zacheus Curtis of Boxford, carpenter, Dec 20, 1687. He was 17 years old when he went and his brothers Richard aged 32 and Thomas aged 27, testified Mar. 29, 1692 that he was not 21 years and above 5 months old. He was pressed into His Majesties Service when in Boxford May 24 1690 and was not released till Nov. 17, and the yr before was pressed a fortnight." (Judicial Records, 52,68)

If Joseph wasn't 21 in 1692 and lacked 5 months of being so , it would mean his birth date is 1670-1671 not 1662.Correct?

Note: This Joseph Kimball of Ipsiwch, MA could not be identical to the Joseph Kimball of Virginia who was having children there between 1700 and 1708 because he was already deceased. Two different men with the same name are being conflated here.

Perhaps this is the other Joseph Kimball:
