She is sometimes said to have married (2) Thomas Bliss. However, she died before Thomas. According to Springfield Famillies by Thomas B. Warren (these volumes are included in the Families o f the Pioneer Valley CD by Regional Publications) Margaret died before Thomas Bancroft and he remarried before 29 August 1670 when he had a daughter Ruth born by his second wife. He died in Enfield, CT 14 Dec. 1684. Margaret WRIGHT therefore died before 1670, probably in Westfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts. The Margaret who married Thomas Bliss was Margaret Hulins (Genealogy of the Bliss Family by Aaron Tyler Bliss; Springfield Families by Thomas B.
