See also children of Joseph's from his second marriage to Sarah Brewer, and Joseph's stepchildren belonging to Sarah from her first marriage to Robert or William Wood.

The 1861 census lists an Anne M. Revell born c. 1855, but it is suspected this is actually Sarah's daughter Hannah (birth registered as Anne) M. Wood. It is possible that Hannah/Anne was Joseph's daughter born of wedlock, as Sarah was a widow at the time Hannah was conceived.
