The view of "as was supposed of Joseph" regards Luke as calling Jesus a son of Eli—meaning that Heli was the maternal grandfather of Jesus, with Luke tracing the ancestry of Jesus through Mary.
Therefore per Adam Clarke (1817), John Wesley, John Kitto and others the expression "Joseph, [ ] of Heli", without the word "son" being present in the Greek, indicates that "Joseph, of Heli" is to be read "Joseph, [son-in-law] of Heli"
ok so your saying that Marys father was Heli? and heli was a descendent of David right?
