Notes for Hannah Dupra/Duper/Dupper

Re: Dupra vs. Duper. There is an article in The American Genealogist, Vol.
37 (1961) by George E.McCracken entitled "Bancrofts in the Connecticut Valley"
from which I quote: "John, ferryman, d. Windsor 6 Aug. 1662; m. there 3 Dec.
1650, Hannah DUPPER, who bore to him John, Nathaniel, Ephraim, Hannah and
Sarah." The article also speaks of Anna BANCROFT, m. Sargeant John GRIFFIN,
and Thomas BANCROFT, m1. Margaret WRIGHT, m2. Hannah, "said to have been a
GARDNER."

I've often seen the statement that Margaret Wright was the dau. of
Samuel of Northampton, but no proof ! Just as possible she was the
sister of Abel of Springfield, no ?? Anyone seen anything that sheds
light on all of this ?
