    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Wright, Whittlesey, Large Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/xY.2ADI/474.3 Message Board Post: Joe, I went digging yesterday and found out some info for you. According to the Saybrook Vital Records, James Wright was born on 7 December 1701 to James and Sarah Wright. He was married to Temperance Whittlesey on 4 January 1722 (she was born on 30 August 1703 to John and Hannah Large [widow] Whittlesey). They only had one child: James, who was born on 28 July 1723. There is another source entitled The Wrights of Wright Street, Volume 1, that I used. There is a typed note that I photocopied from the back of the book that refers to also refers to George Wright, son of James and Temperance Wright in church records in Westbrook, which was part of Saybrook then. The two specific towns you might want to check into are Deep River and Westbrook, as James, James Junior and Temperance are mentioned there. There were other James Wrights around that time, but I went by the actual years that you had. Let me know if you need any more info!
