Notes:
-Migrated to America in 1630, first to Boston, then to Watertown. It is possible he had returned to England 1631-1634 as he is not found on any New England records during that time. He was elected Deacon in the church in 1664. He also served in many town offices during his life: selectman, surveyor, "perambulator of the town bounds", etc. He died in 1680 "Deacon Bright carrying home chairs, etc, used at an orgination that day is hurt by his cart, breaking several of his ribs. No one being around, he died"
