Wright Lineage

Mary M. Wright (wife of Samuel Irvin) was born 1843 in NY and was the daughter of Solomon Warner Wright who was born 1815 in Cambridge, Washington Co., NY and Nancy Glass McDowell who was born 1824 in Milroy, Mifflin Co., PA. Solomon was the son of Josiah Wright b. 1780 in Cambridge, Washington Co., NY and Freelove Woodworth b. 1783 in the same place. Josiah was the son of Caleb Wright, Jr. (Revolutionary War) born about 1746 in Northfield, Franklin Co., MA and Elizabeth Stillman born 1746 in Wethersfield, Hardford Co., CT. Caleb Jr. was the son of Caleb Wright (Sr.) who also gave service in the Revolutionary War and was born about 1724 in Northampton, Hampshire Co., MA and Sarah Strong b. 1727 in the same place.

Caleb (Sr.) was the son of Noah Wright who was born in 1699 in the same place and Sarah Pomeroy who was born in 1700 in the same location. Noah was the son of Ebenezer Wright born 1663 and Hannah Hunt born 1669 both in the same place. Ebenezer was the son of Samuel Wright born 1632 in the same place and Elizabeth Burt b. 1638 in Harberton, Devonshire, England. Samuel Wright was the son of Samuel Wright (Deacon) who was born about 1602 in London, Middlesex, England and Margaret (surname unknown) who was born about 1605 in Northampton, MA.

Samuel (Deacon) Wright was the son of Nathaniel Wright who was born in 1581 in Wrightbridge, Essex, England and Lydia James who was born 1592 in Durham, England. Nathaniel Wright was the son of John Wright, born 1544 in Wrightsbridge, Essex, England and Bennet Green born 1554 in London, England. John Wright was the son of John Wright (Sr.) b. 1517 in Kelvesdon, Essex, England and Alice Rucke b. 1520, Wrightsbridge, Essex, England.

I can't take credit for all this wonderful research. I got most of the information from about the late 1700's back from the genealogy done by a gentleman with the LDS church. But I'll happily share anything I have with you and know all the descendents from Solomon through the present day.

I also have a good number of photographs as well. Please e-mail me at: dianaryman@yahoo.com.
