If this birthdate is acurate, that means he dies in Little Compton at the
ripe old age of 43 or 44, since the exact date of death is in question as well.
Belgium is home to a lot of Closson's. I lived in Brussels, and have traveled
Europe. Brussels is the first place I've found any Closson's in the phone
book...

Josiah CLOSSON has long been accepted as the first known ancestor for many of us. He appears in RI and his previous whereabouts have remained a mystery. Doing some random searching I noticed that the LDS has Josiah CLOSSON b. 1655 listed in the IGI as born in London, England.
Would someone more familiar with LDS research explain what sort of documentation they would have to post that? Is it possible to research(question) their research? If they have a birth record this is exciting news. The alternative frightens me due to the amount of reliance many of us make in the LDS site.

Looking to learn who Tryphena's daughter, Mrs. Henry Longfield is.
Obituary dated January 1894 for Tryphena states her daughter is Mrs. Henry Longfield.
Could Tryphena have been married prior to her marriage to Caleb Closson. Perhaps this is a daughter of Caleb's from a prior marriage and is Tryphena's step-daughter?
I appreciate the help I received to learn about my Closson people and want to return the favor by helping others. Will share information.
