I'd advise tracking down whatever local papers were in the area and seek an Obit and a marriage announcement. There may be some info there to glean. If you don't live in the area, get on the lists and see if you can find someone to do a lookup. The local library may well have archives of the newspapers as well. -----Original Message----- >From: Betty <bbffrrpp@comcast.net> >Sent: May 15, 2008 8:20 AM >To: Wright@rootsweb.com >Subject: [WRIGHT] Mary Elizabeth WRIGHT, b~1844 MA (HUTCHINSON) > >Hello, > >I just joined this List to see if I can find out about a lady in Winchester, >MA.

Hello, I just joined this List to see if I can find out about a lady in Winchester, MA. She is Mary Elizabeth WRIGHT who was born around 1844, probably in MA. I don't know who her parents were, and I don't know where she was living in 1850 and 1860. Probably around 1869 she was marrying George Homer HUTCHINSON in MA, possibly in Winchester, but anywhere near Boston. The 1870 census has George and Mary living with his parents on the HUTCHINSON Farm in Winchester, MA. And, they have an infant son with them. In 1880 George is living in the next town, Arlington, with a different wife, Amy. And, his son, Carleton Homer HUTCHINSON, Age 10, is with them. So, I am guessing that Mrs. Mary HUTCHINSON, mother of Carleton, died during the 1870's. (George had an aunt, Mrs. Mary HUTCHINSON, and an unmarried cousin with the same name, so it is confusing.) The only Mary WRIGHT I could find in the 1860 census with the correct age, was a 17-year-old teen living in a type of "foster home" in Watertown, MA. I was wondering if anyone knew about this Mary WRIGHT. I am aware that there were many WRIGHT families in Middlesex County, MA, in the mid-1800's. And, I am aware that there is a WRIGHT Family Association. And, I am aware that there was a WRIGHT family in Winchester and Woburn in the 1800's. Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA) (on Lists for 7 years; now an Administrator for 7 Lists, including CAN-USA-MIGRATION) P.S. I might have been on this List many years ago; I don't remember.

Author: MichaelCharlesWight Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.wright/15400.2.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Donna, There may be an opportunity here to settle a long standing controversy if you know of a direct male descendant of Lt. Abel Wright of Springfield who would be willing to join the Wright Y-DNA testing program. The parentage and place of birth for Lt. Abel Wright who married Martha KICTHEREL has never been established by suitable documentation and the proposal that he is the son of a Kelvedon Hatch Wright is a hypothetical proposal based largely on the nearby residence of Deacon Samuel Wright in Springfield, MA and the Deacon's 3rd cousin, Thomas Wright, in Wethersfield, CT. Abel's birth date is arrived at through death records, but, to my knowledge, no baptismal or birth record for him in England or in New England has ever been found to show who his parents were and no immigration record has ever been found to show when he immigrated to New England prior to 1655, hence the presumption that he came to the colony about that time. So, what we have is a speculation that Abel Wright was of the Kelvedon Hatch line of Wrights, but not a single piece of documentation to back that up. The opportunity I see here is that if we could find a proven patrilineal descendant of Lt. Abel Wright among your relatives who was willing to join the Y-DNA testing program, we could at long last, develop some sort of credible evidence for or against this hypothesis. Either way, it would focus further research in a more fruitful direction than we currently have found going on with the search for Lt. Abel's parentage. If you know of such a relative, please get in touch and lets see if he can solve this long-standing mystery for us! With regards to other matters mentioned in your rendition of the Kelvedon Hatch lineage, there were a few other details I thought I should mention as follows: 1. Rev. John Wright was born in Dagenhams prior to 27 Oct. 1450 because that was the date of his Christening, not his birth date. 2. The Reverand's son, John Wright, was Christened in Dagenham on 12 July 1488 not in Kelvedon Hall. In 1488 the Kelvedon Hatch estate was held by John Bolles from the owners, Westminster Abby. 3. Marriage place of John Wright and Olive Hubbard was also Dagenham not Kelvedon Hatch or the Kelvedon Manor, which at the time of their marriage was still owned by Westminster Abby and leased to the Bolles family. John Wright did not gain tenancy of the property until 1538 when he bought the tenancy for 493 pounds and change from Richard Bolles, a grandson of the former John Bolles. Two years later Henry VIII divested the church of all its monastaries and leased properties and ownership of the Kelvedon Hatch estate reverted to Sir Richard Rich, Lord of the Ongar Hundred (the Hundred within which all the property lay) and John Wright, yeoman, continued to hold tenancy of the property of Sir Rich instead of Westminster Abby. It was only after 1538 that John Wright occupied the Kelvedon Hatch estate, enlarged the home and improved the estate in a manner that led to it becoming known as "Kelvedon Hall". This property passed to his eldest son, John the Elder, in 1551 whose de! scendants held the estate in the family until 1922. 4. The manor and estates bequeathed by John Wright to his son, Robert, were termed in his will as follows: ..."To Robert Wright and his heirs, Ropers in Brook Street, and house meadow and orchard in Brook Street, Smythes Land, Powres wherein now gladden dwelleth with Fyners, Burnecks Land and Webbs." This included the estates of Great & Little Ropers, the Moat House and its lands as well as four other lesser properties. The Ropers estate still exists in much altered form as does the Moat House, which now operates as an Inn and restaurant called the Mary Green Manor. My wife and I have stayed at the Mary Green Manor a couple of times in the last few years and it is being kept up very nicely by the proprietors. Many of the original architectual features of the Old Moat Houst are still quite evident and the property retains much of its old country Inn charm, even while sitting right on a busy thoroughfare. There is much more to know about this family connection and I am hoping you can help us discover some of it. Please, if you know of any male cousins bearing the Wright name, please put us in touch with them so that we can explore the possibilities that are now open to us for tracking family lineages with Y-DNA testing. This issue of Abel Wright's parents has been debated for over 150 years without satisfactory resolution. In any case, I do wish you the best of luck in fleshing out your Wright ancestry.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: MichaelCharlesWight Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.wright/15400.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi, There are a number of us descended from the so called Kelvedon Hatch Wright line, which, according to Mordant and other sources, takes its recorded beginnings with Henry Wright and wife Anna Whitebread (the Whitebread family can be tracked backward another three generations). Prior to 1509, there is very limited document type information available on Henry's sons and grandsons and we have found a number of things reported incorrectly for this period in the family history by genealogists of the late 19th and early 20th century. My line goes from Henry to Rev. John of Upminster, Co. Essex, to John Wright of Havering/Kelvedon Hatch (1488 - 1551; arms granted 1509 by Henry VIII). It is beginning with this John Wright that we know a great deal about this Kelvedon Hatch family from existent records. We know all of his children and approximately when they were born and whom they married and what they inherited. I and several other subscribers to this forum and the Rootsweb Wright-List, descend from the second of his three sons named John (generally referred to as Myddle John). Myddle John inherited a number of properties, but chief among them was an estate referred to as Wrightsbridge on the West edge of the South Weald parish where the "high road" crossed the Ingreborne River. The estate consisted of a tannery and mill on the river, a country mansion and various outbuildings about the mansion typical of the 1500s country estate and approximately 660 acres of land. There, Myddle John had a first bor! n son born in 1546 who he named John and who inherited this estate from his father when still a small boy. In time this small boy grew to manhood and married Elizabeth Lindsell in 1568. In 1569 John and Elizabeth had a son who they also named John and who was most likely the father of the New England immigrant, Deacon Samuel Wright of Spingfield and Northampton. In 1571 a second son, Samuel was born, but who died without issue in 1606 the year Deacon Samuel Wright was born. In 1581 a third son, Nathaniel, was born (spoken of by Jean as the father of Deacon Samuel Wright). In 1584 Elizabeth died and John remarried in 1589 to Bennett Greene and had by her, Laurence, Bennett and William. In 1590 John, then lord of the manor of Wrightsbridge had his families' grant of arms confirmed by Elizabeth (June 20 1590). Our John Wright ancestor born in 1569 to Lord John Wright and Elizabeth Lindsell entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge University in 1583 as a member of that college's second class. This college of Cambridge University had been specially created for the purpose of training protestant ministers of the puritan persuasion, but John Wright did not pursue the ministry but entered into the practice of law under the tutelage of the preceptors of the Grays Inn chamber of the King's Court. In 1599, the year his youngest step-brother, William, was born to Lord John and Dame Bennett (nee Greene) Wright, he married Martha Castell and in 1600 his first son was born whom he named John in keeping with family tradition. A second son, Nathaniel, was born in 1604 and in 1606 the third son, our ancestor Samuel (named after his recently deceased uncle Samuel) was born. Between 1585 and 1512 John Wright developed a reputation as an able London barrister and in 1612 he was elected to the post of ! Clerk of the House of Commons, a post he held until age and infirmity dictated in 1639 that he pass the post on to his son, the aforementioned John Wright born in 1600. In 1624 we find Samuel, born 1606, following in his father's footsteps and matriculating to Emmanuel College, Cambridge University. In about the same period we find Samuel, son of Nathaniel Wright and Lydia James, involved in the woolen goods trading company with his father and in 1644 we find this same Samuel matriculating as a 29 year old man to Emmanuel College. From here we can follow Nathaniel's son, Samuel, in ecclesiastical records as he moves from living to living during the Commonwealth years and again we find him matriculating to Oxford University and taking his DD degree in 1662. He died in England and is buried in the parish he was ministering to and never went to New England as many have supposed. A good beginner's reference to this Wright family is the 1915 publication by Curtis Wright called "Genealogical and Biographical Notices of Descendants of Sir John Wright of Kelvedon Hall, Essex, England; in America, Thomas Wright, of Wethersfield, Conn. & Dea. Samuel Wright, of Northampton, Mass. Publ. Carthage, MO. This book has been reprinted and is available from a number of on-line genealogical book sellers. In it the Nathaniel Wright/Lydia James hypothesis for parentage of Deacon Samuel Wright was put forward along with much discussion of the difficulties of this assignment. It is too bad that Curtis did not have access to University and ecclesiastical records and histories the way we do now or he might have been able to solve this problem to his full satisfaction. Incidentally, the Y-DNA profile of almost a dozen descendants of Deacon Samuel Wright (and thereby presumably of John Wright (1488 - 1551)) are posted under the E3b profile of results at Wright-DNA.org. If you know of a male relative descended from the brother of Rev. John Wright, (uncle of our John Wright ancestor)that would be an additional branching of the Y-DNA that predates anything we currently have in the Y-DNA database for this family, and we would want to try to pursuade that descentant to join us in participating in the testing program to define our haplogroup well enough to start seeing the family branching out from antiquity. Hope that gives you good food for thought in sorting out the lineage back to Henry and Anna. Mike Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
