Note that Commoners (referred to below), BLG1886 & BLGI1912 confirm that the Joseph below (of the Cabra line) had a younger brother Benjamin who was ancestor of the Winters of Agher. However, it is surely not coincidence that the family shown above included people in Leicestershire and that they show brothers Joseph & Benjamin who went to Ireland, with Benjamin marrying a Mortimer. That the Joseph above married a Clements, whereas the Joseph below married Frances Cooch then Elizabeth Mervyn, indicates that, unless there has been confusion between them and/or others, they were not the same people but they must surely have been closely connected.
