Living at Plymouth, a creditor of the estate of John Throop.

"Wybra Hanson, maid," who married William Pontus at Leiden on 4 Dec 1610, William Brewster a witness (Leiden notes quoted in The Churchill Family in America, 1904). She came to Plymouth with him by 1633, and was living on 15 Dec 1633, when she was listed as a creditor of the estate of John Throop at Plymouth (Sibert, citing Anderson, The Great Migration Begins). Her husband's will of 9 Sept 1650 names his daughters Mary and Hannah and his son-in-law James Glasse but no wife, so she had probably died by then (MD 11:92-93; the research's inference). Her granddaughter Wybra Glass, born 1649 to Mary (Pontus) Glass, carried her unusual first name.

Mollie Pfeiffer thought her the one ancestor not from England, Scotland or Wales (typescript p. 187). Broadly so, but Philip Delano, born at Leiden of a Walloon family, is another, and the Genns came by way of Virginia.
