  • Notes 
    • Maiden name confusion. Please review sources.
      --Descendants of James Irish, 1710-1940 : and allied families VII states that The Wight Genealogy incorrectly gave Jonathan Wight's wife as Elizabeth Hawes, further stating that in records from the original, the surname of Elizabeth is torn off and Hawes was added written in a different hand. From deeds and other recorded documents, it has been shown that Jonathan Wight married Elizabeth Fisher daughter of Thomas Fisher) on 9 Apr 1760.
      --The Edward Hawes heirs : Edward Hawes, ca. 1616-1687, of Dedham, Massachusetts states that Jane Wight (who married Michael Ware) was the daughter of Jonathan Wight and Elizabeth Fisher. (see sources)
      --Torrey's U.S., New England Marriages Prior to 1700, p 813, gives her name as Elizabeth [Fisher] / Haws (This is considered the seminal work on the subject.)
      --She was not named in father Thomas Fisher's will, but some other documented daughters who survived him were also not named by name.
      --The Wights : a record of Thomas Wight of Dedham and Medfield and of his descendants (see sources) gives Jonathan Wight's wife's name as Elizabeth Hawes. There are NO images of the original, only later transcriptions.
      --She was not named in father Thomas Fisher's will, but some other documented daughters who survived him were also not named by name.
      --There is no record of Elizabeth Fisher married to Joseph Haws/Hawes. His documented source are inconsistent with such a marriage.
