March 1742/43 in Cayahoga (near Akron, Ohio), son of Tehowaghwengaraghkwin..." ... and also .. " Joseph was probably born in March 1742 of the Julian calendar. Estimates of his year of birth made by subtracting his age at death as given by his biographer William Leete Stone produce a date of 1743, but this purely arithmetical calculation ignores the change from Julian to Gregorian calendar which took place in his lifetime.
