Kevin, in  Volume III of The History of Martha's Vineyard, by Charles
E. Banks, it states that:

     Richard AREY, b. abt. 1640; he resided in Edgartown, and married
     Sarah MARCHANT abt. 1677. Richard died 14 Feb 1688-9. Children:
          1. John, b 3 Oct 1677
          2. Jean, b. 1679; m. Benjamin PEASE 17 June 1697
          3. Richard, b. 3 July 1682
          4. Samuel, b 1686

After Richard died, the widow married Thomas HARLOCK 16 Nov. 1696.
The father of Richard AREY was also named Richard. Richard AREY the
father was a mariner "engaged in the coasting trade". He drowned on
19 Nov. 1668-9 on a trip to Nantucket.  His wife was named Elizabeth.
Vol. II of Bank's History mentions several law suits that Richard
AREY  was involved in.

The History of Martha's Vineyard is fascinating.  Sarah MARCHANT, wife
of the 2nd Richard AREY above was from a well known family there.  Let 
me know if you need any more info.
