notes

From Re: Waitstill Snow's parents (not Constance Hopkins and Nicholas Snow, right?) Posted: 14 Nov 2012 9:44PM

"Research conducted and published in 1992 by Gale Ion Harris ("Captain Richard Wright of Twelve-Mile Island and the Burnhams of Podunk," in The American Genealogist, vol. 67 (1992): pp 32-46), results in a completely new theory about Richard Wright of Rehoboth and a second wife, and suggests that Richard married the widowed MOTHER of William Sabin, and NOT that Richard was father of William Sabin's wife.
"That means that a) there was no daughter of Richard by the name of Mary Wright; and b) no daughter of Richard Wright's married William Sabin. The full name of the first wife of William Sabin (and mother of Joseph, above) remains a mystery."

comments

Sept 2014 from Geni Member Steve Kilburn:

"In "The Great Migration Series" Richard Wright's bio mentions three daughters with first wife and three more with second wife. There is no Mary mentioned and none of the daughters are said to have married William Sabin. What Robert Anderson says about second wife: "(2) By about 1643 , possibly a widow Sabin, mother of William Sabin of Rehoboth [TAG 67:37]. So he relies on the Gale Ion Harris article you mentioned. I have Mary Bushe Sabin as William's mother.
"In Torrey's "New England Marriages" William Sabin's entry goes," Sabin, William(-1687) and 1st wife_____[Wright] (-1660); by 1640? Rehoboth" with 11 references. [ ] for Torrey means he has found a reliable source that identified the brides maiden surname with a great deal of confidence.
"Second wife is said to be Martha Allens or Allen who married second Richard Bowen. In Charles Pope's Poineers of Massachusetts" the entry for William Sabin has no name for his first wife. Second wife is Martha Allen.
"The wife of William Sabin was born in England as was William. Their marriage was most likely in England as Pope does not have William in this country until 1643. I don't have the date or place of birth of their first child Samuel. I do have the date and place of birth of their second child, Elizabeth born 1643 in Rehoboth
"In conclusion it seems to me William Sabin did not marry a daughter of Richard Wright. He, based on Torrey, could have married a daughter of another Wright. There are 14 mentioned in Pope's work that came to Mass."
