It appears that this Joseph died at less than a month old. From Stacy Midway
Records: son William and Ann Baker died March 17. Then there is the entry
Joseph Stevens - to William and Ann Baker, Aug. 17, 1798. I think this is
likely the birth date for the Joseph you are looking at. Do you have some
information that says the son which died was someone else?
