• General Notes

  Sharon Miller wrote, 'I have a speculative last name for Amye: Wright. I believe she was the widow of William Wright, who seems to have been an early business partner of Robert's. When William died in 1656, Robert was appointed to 'settle his affairs and give the balance to William's widow Amye.' Barbara Marsh adds, 'Old Rappahannock County records note that Robert's wife was 'Amye' at least as of the Dec. 26, 1659 sale of land through the last public mention of her on Nov. 14, 1666.' Sharon continues, 'Given that 'Amye' was a very unusual name for the time, I'm fairly certain that this speculation is correct, but hasve no confirmation.' Barbara again, 'Additionally, Robert Sisson was one of the witnesses to the will of Thomas Wright, dated Oct. 23, 1661 and probated Mar. 10, 1666 in Rappahannock County.' ......"
