If you are descended from the Joanna Joslin who married John Rathburn at Exeter. RI on 3 March 1793, then we are likely distant cousins.
Your Joanna is the daughter of John Joslin and Joanna Andrews, the children of which are as follows: Henry Joslin, b. 2 Jan 1755; Andrew Joslin, b.16 Apr 1757, d. 16 Dec 1837 (my ancestor); Rufus Joslin, b. 8 Apr 1759m Married Judith Rathburn; Sylvester Joslin, b. 8 Aug 1761, d. 25 Jun 1819, m. Hannah Justin; David Joslin, b. 17 Jun 1763, d. 9 Feb 1796; John Joslin, b. 9 Oct 1765, d. Aug 1845; Joanna, b. 8 Nov 1767, d. 24 Jul 1829, m. 3 Mar 1793 to John Rathburn; Amy Joslin, b. 29 Nov 1770, d. 23 Oct 1812; Isabel Joslin, b. 20 Oct 1773; Christopher Joslin, b. 23Apr 1778, d. 15 Sep 1858. All of the above children were born in Exeter, Washington County, Rhode Island.
The ancestry of John Joslin is well documented back to Thomas Joslin the first Joslin immigrant to the colonies in 1635. The ancestry in England for previous generations is also fairly well documented.
This particular family were loyalists. As such, Andrew and Rufus fled to what is now New Brunswick in 1783. The others of the family appear to have moved to New York where their loyalists leanings were unknown and they would not be persecuted by the victorious colonialists. My line, from Andrew, reentered the US in the later 1800's in Michigan. We have a large number of cousins in New Brunswick, Ontario and Michigan and to some extent throughout Canada and the US.
I hope this is of some assistance. If you have further questions about this family or lineage, feel free to ask.
