Pierce, is incorrect. ... The original MS reads Matchet, as do the originals of two very similar mss produced by Candler's son Philip ..." Mentions NEHGR, Vol 99 (1934), p. 273, an article on the Fisk Family by G. Andrews Moriarty, which identifies William's wife as "BRIDGET MATCHET daughter of ---- Matchet of Pulham, co. Norfolk, England" with no sources specified, but based on his coverage of other people, probably based on the Candler manuscript. Cutter, p. 42, identifies her as "Bridget Muskett, of Pelham, England", probably incorrect. No marriage or baptism record appears to be known.
