There are quite a few public trees on ancestry giving his mother's maiden name as Cawthorne though of course they may not be right.

Hi Kite,

I've seen quite a few of those tree but none seen to evidence where they got Cawthorne from. I have also seen Tingle mentioned a couple of times elsewhere.

Joseph & Martha's marriage is one I would like to find, i've been looking for a few years now.
