Notes:

BIRTH: No birth rec found. Robert Day, age 30, was a passenger on the ship "Elizabeth" from Ipswich with wife Mary, age 28, on 30 Apr 1634. He was probably born in Co. Suffolk, as most of the other passengers of the "Elizabeth" with known origins were Suffolk people. Ipswich, the port of embarkation, is also in Suffolk. For passenger list, see Peter Wilson Coldham, THE COMPLETE BOOK OF EMIGRANTS, 1607-1660 (Baltimore, 1987), 114-15 (FHL #973 W2col).
MAR #1: Wife Mary, age 28, on passenger list of the "Elizabeth," 1634, above.
MAR #2: No mar rec found. Wife Editha is identified in the will of Robert Day, below. Robert's will also charged Edward Stebbing and others to assist his wife. Editha and her four Day children are mentioned in the will of her 2nd husband, John Maynard of Hartford, 23 Jan 1657/8, no probate act, Hartford Probate District, abstracted in Charles W. Manwaring, ed, DIGEST OF THE EARLY CONNECTICUT PROBATE RECORDS, 3 vols. (Hartford, 1904-1906), 1:137-38 (FHL #974.6 P2m). The same will made "my brother" Edward Stebbing one of the overseers. Editha is called "my deare sister Holyoke" in the will of Edward Stebbing of Hartford, 24 Aug 1663, proved 3 Sep 1668, Hartford District Probate, 3:52-54 (FHL #004572).
