Per the bio of Joseph's son James in the 1881 "History of Knox County" (N. N. Hill Jr., 1881), Joseph "was married twice and was the father of twenty-two children, all of whom are now deceased, except James, by his first marriage, ... and two sons and one daughter by his second wife."
This Joseph Severns is often confused with his first cousin, Joseph Severns 1768-1857, whose wife was also named Mary and was apparently his cousin, a sister of Joseph Severns 1759-1848 (see memorial 211409013).
