Jonathan/Joseph confusion

There is considerable confusion about whether these two names are actually the same individual, or whether there are indeed separate painters. I am inclined to believe the latter. Encyclopedia Britannica 1911 is pretty clear about Jonathan, born in Connecticut c. 1700 and worked mainly in Boston. The first few paragraphs of this article are taken from that source, although it ignores the given date of death (c. 1765). Other sources telescope the two. Modern Britannica describes a clearly different Joseph Blackburn who was born in England and traveled, incidentally including to Boston. Possibly adding to the confusion is that Joseph's father was named John. This is too dense a knot for me to untie, without clearer and more authoritative sources - maybe the Boston MFA could help?
