WIGHT, Jonathan and Elizabath Haws, Apr. 19, 1687.
[Note: Source:Wight, William Ward. Wights : A Record of Thomas Wight of Dedham and Medfield and of His Descendants, 1635-1890, p. 12, gives the marriage date as "August (not April as in Register VI., 85)". (The report of Wrentham records in the Register also says April.) The original (here) is hard to read due to smudges and blurring, but it appears to say "Aprll". There is a slash through the L's that make them look like T's, but using two T's for August hasn't been noticed anywhere else. The front part of the word has the letter with the tail (i.e., p or g) immediately following the A (i.e., no U, though Agust is sometimes seen as an alternate spelling when the month is written out in full), and it looks like a p with a widening (i.e. the loop) on the right of the tail, not the left. Compare to the two April marriages higher up on the page (Samuell ffisher and Eliazer Medcalfe) which have the same line drawn through the L's but have a much clearer P following the A. Mr. Wight appears wrong, especially given that two comprehensive transcriptions differed from his reading (one having seen the records when they were 40 years less aged than when Mr. Wight saw them). Marriages were not frequent enough to offer any contextual clues.]
