"Acknowledged by William Sabine of Rehoboth on 4 Mar. 1672/3 before Constant Southworth, Asst." [Ibid., vol. III, pt. 2, p. 262].
10 May 1673-John Woodcocke, Sr., of Rehoboth, planter deeded to "my eldest son John Woodcock Jr." of Rehoboth 60 acres upland, meadow
* This deed is printed here in full for the reason that it is the only evidence we have that the first wife of William Sabin was a daughter of Richard Wright, the Rehoboth miller. This discovery was first published by the writer in the New England Historical & Genealogical Register in 1944. William Sabin was buried at Rehoboth 9 Feb. 1687. Although he had twenty children, he had no son named William, so that there can be no confusion in names. He was probably in Braintree with his father-in-law before coming to Rehoboth. He must have married his first wife about 1640 or 1641. The date of birth of his first child, Samuel, is unknown, but a daughter Elizabeth, accord- ing to her gravestone in the Newman Cemetery, was born in 1642. The names of the remaining eighteen children are found in the Rehoboth records,-from 1645 to 1660 by his first wife and from 1664-5 to 1680 by his second wife. His first wife died after her last child was born on 27 July 1660. He married, secondly, at Medfield, Mass., 22 Dec. 1663, Martha Allen, born 11 Dec. 1641, daughter of James and Anna Allen [cf. Register, vol. XXXVI, p. 52]. It seems likely that Richard Wright was living in 1672, since his son-in-law William Sabin does not refer to him as "deceased" in his deed dated that year.
