Sometime before 1651, HUGH MARCH took JUDITH KNIGHT (who was either a sister or a daughter of either JOHN or RICHARD KNIGHT, brothers and tailors, from ROMSEY, HAMPSHIRE, England, who came to NEW England aboard the Ship JAMES In 1635 and settled at "old" NEWBURY) as his first wife. She was to become the mother of all five of his children. [March Family History Volume 1, pg 34-35]

In 1653 Hugh March he appeared before the court when his wife Judith was before it for wearing a silken scarf in public. In that case, Hugh displayed evidence that he "held Worthe in excess of 200". The case was dismissed

Traditional family stories say that the last time all the members of this family were together was at the funeral of their mother, Judith in December of 1675. After that, certain differences arose between Hugh and his son John March. These differences led to harsh words, and, from the time of his marriage in 1676 Hugh was not to have "a cordial father-to-son talk" with John.

Judith Knight came to Newbury with her family in 1635. Her husband Hugh March, although he was a servant when he came to Newbury, must have been successful later. In 1653, Hugh March appeared before the court when his wife Judith was before it for wearing a silken scarf in public. In that case, Hugh displayed evidence that he "held Worthe in excess of 200". The case was dismissed. Apparently, you were not to flaunt your wealth. Traditional family stories say that the last time all the members of this family were together was at the funeral of their mother, Judith in December of 1675. After that, certain differences arose between Hugh and his son John March. These differences led to harsh words, and, from the time of his marriage in 1676 Hugh was not to have "a cordial father-to-son talk" with John.
