However there is namely "memory" in the "1609 Quarto", see e.g.

hope, I just do not know what is considered as the canonical variant
for not so old language.

I am not an expert on Shakespeare's poetry either, but as the author of
the patch where Sonnet 1 is included, I can say that 'memeory' is a typo
(sorry). At least I didn't use that word intentionally. I don't know if
there is any textual variant 'memeory', but in my case it is nothing
more than a simple typo :-).

Then "mught" should be another typo.

"His tender heire might beare his memory:" - 1609 Quatro

"His tender heir might bear his memory:" - Wikipedia citing Shakespeare, William. Duncan-Jones, Katherine. Shakespeare’s Sonnets. Bloomsbury Arden 2010. p. 113 ISBN 9781408017975

"His tender heir mught bear his memeory:" - some web pages and Org manual.
