In 1658, Mary, the first member of what would become Richard Brightwell's extended family was transported from England to Maryland as the wife of John Boage (mentioned earlier as master of Patuxent Manor). Mary was the eldest daughter of Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) who came to Maryland from England. We first encounter Elizabeth as the wife of Robert Lashley in 1666. Available information appears to show that none of the five daughters of Elizabeth were the children of Robert Lashley. The biological father of these five daughters is yet unknown. The wills identified to date refer to them simply as "daughters of Elizabeth" which serves our purposes here. Records show that John Boage was age 30 in 1658.
