Narrative

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.' ......"

And Sharon writes: "The April 10, 1685 will of Bridget Richards says 'Moreover my desire is that Mrs. Sisson shall keep my daughter, Ann Pridum, till she is eighteen years of age and if she died before the time is expired, for her to give her to whom she will.' Bridget's will was witnessed by William Sisson and Maria Wright; William was a son of Robert Sisson." I would appreciate comments and researsh on this speculation.
