Notes:

"Massachusetts and Maine Families": Hugh March, born in 1618, sailed from Southampton, England, on the ship "Confidence" of London, 200 tons, John Gibson, master, the last of April, 1638. he was listed as a servant, aged 20, of Stephen Kent, aged 27, of Nether Wallop, Hampshire. Although Stephen Kent came of a Nether or Upper Wallop family, he was "of Salisbury," Wiltshire, not far from Wallop, when he obtained a license, dated August 10, 1637, to marry Margery Norris of Collingbourne Kingston, co. Wilts. It is therefore not improbable that Hugh March was a Salisbury boy. On landing in New England the Kents and march went to Newbury where there were already many Wiltshire and Hampshire families settled.
March was a carpenter and builder by trade in Newbury, and dealt extensively in boards and timber with several Exeter lumbermen as various lawsuits testify.....

Hugh married Judith ? about 1645. Judith died on 14 Dec 1675. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
