By William Richard Cutter, American Historical Society:

Joseph Ives, second son of Captain William Ives, married, January 2, 1672-73 (old style), Mary Yale, born April 16, 1650, daughter of Thomas Yale, a merchant in New Haven, and Mary (Turner) Yale, daughter of Captain Nathaniel Turner, who was lost in the "Phantom Ship" which sailed from the port of New Haven early in January. 1647, and never returned.

For a description of the "Phantom Ship" read the Rev. John Davenport's letter to Rev. Cotton Mather in "Mather's Magnalia."

Mary Yale was a first cousin of Governor Elihu Yale who gave to Yale College its name, in consequence of munificent donations presented by him, he being at the time a resident of London and ex-governor of Madras of the East Indies.

It was long supposed that Elihu and Mary Yale were brother and sister and President Stiles so gives it, but recent careful researches by Professor Dexter, of Yale, have proven that the fathers of Elihu and Mary were brothers. Joseph Ives died November 17, 1694.
