Notes.

 

Robert Day's first wife was a woman named Mary, who came with him on the Elizabeth to Boston in 1634.  She is thought to have died before Day settled in Hartford in the late 1630's.  He then married Editha Stebbins.  Per A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England: Showing Three Generations of Those Who Came Before May 1692, on the Basis of Farmer’s Register by James Savage, Boston: Little Brown, 1860-62, Editha was the mother of Robert's children Thomas (b. Abt 1636), Mary (b. Abt 1640) and John (b. Abt 1643).

One of Edith's brothers was Deacon Edward Stebbins, a Founder of Hartford, CT., who is listed in Great Migration Directory.
