Check out these two Rootsweb files. Appears to be the same family though one gives name
as Joseph Henry and the other as Joseph Harvey. Wife's surname is different also -
Markham vs. Smith.

My note here: notice the six year gap between Desdemona and Jodena - perhaps Elizabeth
Smith was first wife, and Elizabeth V. Markham the second wife?
