"DANFORTH, (9219viii) Thomas, colonial governor, born in Framlingham, Suffolk, England, in 1622; died ill Cambridge, Massachusetts, 5 November 1699. He was the eldest son of (9218) Nicholas Danforth, and came with his father and brother, (9219iv) Samuel, to New England in 1634. Soon after his arrival in this country he acquired great influence in the management of public affairs. Bancroft speaks of him as the probable author of the report on natural and chartered rights, made by Simon Bradstreet, Increase Mather, John Norton, and others, in 1661. From 1659 till 1678 he was an assistant under the Massachusetts government, becoming in 1679 deputy governor. In the latter year he was elected president of the province of Maine, then independent of the colony of Massachusetts... During the witchcraft delusion in 1692 he showed his correctness of judgment by the firmness with which he condemned the proceedings of the court.
"His brother, (9219x) Samuel, clergyman, born in Framlingham, Suffolk, England, in September 1626; died in Roxbury, Massachusetts, 19 November 1674, was graduated in 1643 at Harvard, where he was at once appointed a tutor and the second fellow. In 1641 he was invited by the Rev. Thomas Welde to become--with the Rev. John Eliot, whose numerous missionary engagements interfered with his ministerial labors--colleague pastor of the Church in Roxbury.... He showed great interest in astronomy, publishing a number of almanacs, and also "An Astronomical Description of the Comet of 1664," in which he maintained that a comet was a heavenly body moving in accordance with divine laws, and that the appearance was indicative of approaching misfortunes..."

It is convenient and plausible to assign the above three wives to Robert Fletcher of Concord; but I have seen nothing convincing yet, to substantiate the connection. In reality, there were probably at two Robert Fletchers -- one married to a Rose and the other to a Margaret or a Sarah; although the latter has a mythical quality about her: She presumably was borne in Essex, but married in Yorkshire, and nobody has any original source information on her. Margaret Hailstone, shown by most as the wife, was married to Robert's son Samuel. Of ourse, there may have been another Margaret Hailstone -- an aunt, who married Samuel's father -- implying a 1st cousin marriage. This would certainly be a rarity among Puritan immigrants; and without supporting primary sources, I will discard the notion.

The maiden name of (4611) Grissell was not noted by Savage; (neither did he mention Mary as a child of Robert). I don't know of any birth record for Grissel, nor marriage record of her with (4610) Thomas Jewell, which might have cleared up the issue.
