- Samuel Wright Jr & sil Mary Burt
24 Mar 1654/55
The Deacon and Hannah's husband, Lt. Thomas Stebbins, were involved with each other as trusted friends (see again, Pynchon Court Records in "Families of the Pioneer Valley," Regional Publications, West Springfield, MA 2000). For instance, on 24 March
1654/55 Thomas Stebbins joined with the Deacon in providing a most personal and embarrassing bond to the Pynchon court in Springfield (in the matter of the illegitimate child the Deacon's son, Samuel Wright Jr., fathered upon his own sister-in-law, Mary Burt). This would have been a matter only very close friends would have joined together on.
per email from Michael Wright
note: if this bond happened when the child was an infant, then it would have been conceived no later than June or July of 1653 - which predates both Samuel Jr and Mary Burt's respective marriages. Mary would not have been his sister-in-law at that time.
