Reverend Robert Wight, of Hareby

notes

From The New England Historical and Genealogical Register 1914.  Page 77.  "Lincolnshire origins of Exeter Settlers."

"Thomas Wight is an interesting link, for he was one of the grantees named in the " Wheelwright Deed." The only family of the name I found in Lincolnshire was that of Robert Wight, a clergyman at Hareby, a
parish half-way between Spilsby and Horncastle. Robert Wight had some connection with Alford, for he was a witness to Balthasar Willick's will therein 1598/9, and in 1613 he married there his second wife, Bridget White. The will of Robert Wight and the Hareby transcripts show that he had a son Thomas, baptized 6 Dec. 1607, who may have been the Exeter settler, although proof that he was the Thomas Wight of the Combination has not yet been found."

The Will of Robert Wight of Hareby, clerk, 1 October 1617. To be buried in the chancel of the church of Hareby. To eldest son Daniel Wight £20 at twenty-one years. To eldest daughter Sara Wight £10 at twenty-one years or at her marriage. To second daughter Elizabeth Wight £10 at twenty-one years or at her marriage. To second son Thomas Wight £10 at twenty-one years. To youngest son John Wight £10 at twentyone years. To the poor of Hareby. Residue to dearly beloved wife Bridget Wight, executrix. My worshipful and good friend Mr. Bryan of Bollingbroke, and Mr. Edmond Power, minister of the same town, to be supervisors. Witnesses: Rich. Wright, Nathaniell Lambert, Daniell Wight. Proved at Spilsby 24 April 1618. (Consistory of Lincoln, 1618, vol. 2, fo. 343.)
