      SOURCE: The Wight Family, Memoir of Thomas Wight, of Dedham, Mass., with genealogical notices of his descendants, from 1637 to 1840. By Danforth Phipps Wight, M.D. Boston: Press of T.R. Marvin, 24 Congress Street, 1848. John, son of Thomas & Alice, was born in England. His name is in the Dedham Records only in the instance before mentioned of a transfer of land from Thomas Wight "unto John Wight his sonne" in 1652. He removed to Medfield the same year, and died September 28, 1653. His name is not in his father's Will, as he was not living at the time it was made. In the settlement of his estate, the Probate Court directed that it be equally divided between his widow Anne and his only child, Abihaile, born (three months after his decease) January 1, 1653-the year commencing in March.
