I believe Catherine/Caty was the daughter of Amasa Wright and Mary Chamberlain of Northfield, Massachusetts, but cannot prove it. I don't know anything about David, but there may be a connection--there were a couple of other Wrights, there were three or four other Wright males with connections to Hartland in the late 1700s: two of Amasa's brothers, Zaddock/Zaddeck and Moses, and a Wright who was a Revolutionary War soldier from Pennsylvania (I think his name was Asa). You probably know about Major David Wright born 1749 in Lebanon, Connecticut, who married Hannah Bailey and moved to Hartford in the late 1700s; they had a son, David, who married an Elizabeth: I'm not aware of any Sally or Sarah who married either David, and the younger David died in 1817, a year before Elizabeth, so he didn't remarry.

Thanks to all who responded to my query. Yes, I was aware of Major David Wright and Hannah Bailey, as well as the son, David, married to Elizabeth, from Hartford. All I know about mine is given below. Darn these ancestors who live somewhere and leave no trace!! Happy Holidays to all, Ann A.
