Here is an excerpt from a news report and interview with Jill's first husband Bill Stevenson that clarifies the timeframe where the married Joe meets the married Jill:
As DailyMail.com has previously reported, Stevenson claims he introduced his wife Jill to Joe Biden in 1972, when Joe was running for Senate for the first time.
Bill, who owned a successful bar, held a fundraiser for Joe's political run. At the time, Joe was a council member campaigning for the U.S. Senate, and was married to his first wife, Neilia.
Per the article:
"I threw a fundraiser for him in August, 1972 and raised between $2,500 and $3,000," said Stevenson. "I introduced Joe to Jill then."
(Jill would have been 21, Joe would have been 30 years old.)
"Right before the election, in '72. Jill, Joe, Neilia and I were in his kitchen. How do you forget that?"
Just 4 months later, in December 1972, Joe's wife Neilia and her infant daughter and 2 sons would be involved in a car crash, killing Neilia and the infant daughter. The two boys, Beau and Hunter survived with injuries.
Sometime later, Jill 'started babysitting' Joe's two boys for him, missing a performance of an important headliner at Bill's country western bar in favor of 'babysitting Joe's kids'.
Two years later, in 1974, Bill learned that the corvette he'd bought for his wife Jill had been involved in a multi-car accident some weeks earlier. The injured party confronted Bill to pay up for the damages.
Bill had been unaware of the accident and then learned that Jill had failed to tell Bill about it because it had been Joe driving with Jill as passenger. It was then that Bill acknowledged that his wife was having an affair.

Very interesting thanks for the Jill timeline.
