... Sometime in the late 1670s (before Nov 1681), Richard Brightwell married Katherine (one of the five daughters of Elizabeth Lashley by a prior marriage, and sister of Mary - wife of Thomas Truman after April, 1671). The maiden name of Katherine and her sisters is still unknown - they were not the daughters of Robert Lashley. Katherine had previously been married to a Bradmore. Nothing more is known about that marriage.
