About 1709 Joseph Atkins married Martha Pease, the daughter of James Pease and Elizabeth Norton of Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard. Some early genealogies don’t have Joseph’s wife identified, but she is shown to be Martha through her father’s 1711 will (Edgartown Prob. Recs. 85).

Joseph and Martha had eight children:

1. Joseph born 9 December 1710
2. Martha born 9 November 1711
3. Anna born 12 December 1713
4. Paul born 11 August 1716
5. James born 25 December 1718
6. John born 18 January 1720/21
7. Uriah born 7 September 1722
8. Hannah born 4 April 1726

Joseph died at Eastham on 25 March 1726. Martha’s death date is unknown.
