2. Thomas Wight of Hareby, Lincolnshire, England was bp 6 Dec 1607 son of Robert Wight and Elizabeth Fulshaw. Current research supports the idea but has no conclusively proven that he is identical to the man who signed the Exeter Combination in New Hampshire. If so he was living in 1646 but died before 25 March 1648 when widow Lucy gave a power of attorney to George Barlow. He was fined for speaking contemptuously of magistrates in 1642 and signed a pet. in Sept. 1643. His widow Lucy married second in Boston 24 Dec. 1652 John Samuel. His only children were Israal and Elizabeth.
