| Notes |
- In vital records, Samuel Wight diary mentions Joseph died in his 81st year, "gast entred". Joseph Wight inherited his father's homestead and buildings on North Street, Medfield. The surname of his wife Mercy has thus far eluded most diligent search. Joseph was married second to Mrs. Martha Thayer of Bellingham, Mass. To this town he removed in 1729, selling his Medfield estate. His name appears, 23 November, 1737, in the first list of members of Bellingham Baptist church, of which he was one of the deacons. Martha Thayer Wight's will discloses that she had a daughter who was married to Jonathan Thompson.
