Note that on the section 'Marriage', the second paragraph is prefaced with the apocryphal nature of the information that follows, so the entire second paragraph should be taken with a grain of salt, as well as the section on his death; for example, Joseph is given as 90 when he married Mary, but one of the accounts of his death puts his age at the same.
