This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: rngrant Surnames: WRIGHT Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.wright/15299/mb.ashx Message Board Post: This message is being posted to the Wright list, the Fauquier, Franklin, Prince William, and Westmoreland County, Virginia, lists and the Surry County, North Carolina, list to be sure to reach all researchers who may be interested in this Wright line. The result is you may receive multiple copies of this posting, which I again hope you will not mind too much. A Tentative Identification Of The Parents Of 1792 John Wright Of Fauquier County Since Charles Hoppin published his works in 1919, 1923, and 1932, the accepted ancestry of 1792 (year of death) John Wright of Fauquier County, Virginia, (place of death) has been as the son of 1729/30 John Wright of Fauquier County and Dorothy ( ) Wright and the grandson of 1713 Francis Wright of Westmoreland County and Anne (Washington) Wright. However, as set forth in my February 8 posting, recent Y-DNA results preclude 1792 John Wright from being the son of 1729/30 John Wright or the grandson of 1713 Francis Wright. The Y-DNA of 1792 John Wright is from Haplogroup R1b1 and the Y-DNA of 1729/30 John Wright and 1713 Francis Wright is from Haplogroup J2. The consequence of this new evidence is to leave the identity of the parents of 1792 John Wright of Fauquier County in question. The following offers a tentative identification of those parents as John Wright (Westmoreland County Overseer) and (Williams) Wright. There is no documentation yet found that directly makes this identification. The evidence is circumstantial, but that circumstantial case seems promising. Charles Hoppin in his works discussed John Wright (Westmoreland County Overseer) as follows: "John Wright, The Overseer, Of Westmoreland, 1659-1734. He petitioned the court of Westmoreland, 25 January, 1691, to know "the bounds of his land on upper Mochotik and also that his father in law Rice Williams Thirds may be laid out." [Court "Order Book 1690-1698," page 26.] At the same session (on the next page of the record), in the case of the King vs. Wright, he was charged to wit: "John Wright, overseer to Mr. Gawin Corbin for rideing abt, drinking & revelling in tyme of Divine Service." On March 21, 1691-2, the proprietary of the Northern Neck granted to him, "John Wright of Washington parish," one hundred and seven acres of land upon "Machotick dam," etc., formerly held by Joseph Hadnutt, deceased, escheated to said Wright. [Northern Neck Grants, volume 1, page 142, Land Office, Richmond, Virginia.] He deposed on November 26, 1701, that he was "aged about forty-two." [Westmoreland "Deeds and Wills No. 3," page 15.] On June 30, 1709: "Ordered Virlandoe Wright, daughter of John Wright of Upper Machotique, mark of Cattle & ! Hoggs be Recorded." [Westmoreland "Orders &c. 1705 to 1721, page 126.] On July 23, 1715, "Robert Hammett & John Wright both of Washington parish presented by the grand Jury for Retailing Liq Contra'y to Law," etc. [Westmoreland court "Orders &c. 1705 to 1721," page 272 dorso.] The unhappy end of this John Wright is indicated by the entry, on March 28, 1734, on page 136 dorso of the said book, to wit: "John Wright a very ancient man petitioning this Court to be levy free, and it appearing that he was an Object of Pitty, It is therefore considered that he be hereafter Exempt from paying any future public tax or levy." The names of all of his children are not recorded in direct connection with his name; but the records of Aaron and William Wright, some of which are too unfortunate for further reference, leave little or no doubt as to their parentage. Charles Wright of Westmoreland, later of Prince William county, against whom nothing discreditable is found recorded, may have! been an estimable son of John Wright the overseer, though recorded pr oof thereof is lacking; so one may accord to this Charles Wright the benefit of any doubt." The first piece of circumstantial evidence relates to John Wright the Overseer's daughter Virlandoe Wright mentioned above. On October 18, 1731, at Prince William County, Virginia, D.B. B/64 Vellender Greenin appointed John Wright, Gentleman, her attorney in fact to acknowledge her right of dower in 200 acres of land sold by her husband Owin Greenin: "Know all men by these Presents that I Vellender Greenin the Wife of Owin Greein of the Parish of Hanover in the County of Pr. Wm. Doe Constitute and appoint Jon. Wright Gent to acknowledge my right of Dowrey and thirds at the Common Law of in to Two hundred acres of Land Sold by my Said Husband unto William McBee and his heirs for Ever relation thereto being had it doth and may fully and at Large Appear and for so Doing this shall be his Sufficient Warrent as witness my hand and Seal this Eighteen Day of Obr Anno Domini 1731 Signed Sealed and De- Vellender V Greenin livered In the Presence her mark and Seal of us Tested by Owin Greenin, Thos :T Dunigan At a Court Continued & held for Prince William County the Twenty first Day of october 1731 The Within Power of Atturney from Vellender Greenon to John Wright was Proved by the oaths of the Witnesses thereto admitted to Record Test Catesby Cooke Cl Cur." The female given names of Virlandoe and Vellender are both sufficiently rare and sufficiently similar that this power of attorney was probably from Virlandoe Wright, the daughter of John the Overseer, after her marriage to Owen Greenin. 1792 John Wright of Fauquier County was the only "John Wright Gentleman" in Prince William County in 1731, so the power of attorney had to be to him. Powers of attorney were generally given to a trusted relative. This makes it likely that 1792 John Wright of Fauquier was related to Virlandoe/Vellender (Wright) Greenin. The two were of a similar age. 1792 John was born before October 2, 1700, and Virlandoe was old enough in 1709 to have a mark recorded but young enough to be unmarried. Given their similar ages, the most probable relationship would be as siblings, which would make 1792 John Wright a son of John Wright the Overseer. The second piece of circumstantial evidence is based on similarity of residence. The power of attorney set forth above indicates that Virlandoe/Vellender (Wright) Greenin resided in 1731 in Prince William County. 1792 John Wright of Fauquier County purchased 236 acres of land from Jeremiah Darnall and his wife Catharine Darnall on March 23, 1740, at Prince William County, Virginia, D.B. E/170 in a part of Prince William County that became Fauquier County.. Charles Hoppin identified Charles Wright as a possible son of John Wright the Overseer and Charles Wright purchased 250 acres of land on Occoquan Creek on September 28, 1741, at Prince William County, Virginia, D.B. E/468 in a part of Prince William County that became Fauquier County. This set of common residences suggests a move of related parties from Westmoreland County to Prince William County. The third piece of circumstantial evidence is family naming patterns. Parents often named one of their sons after the father, so it would be likely that John Wright (Westmoreland County Overseer) would have a son John. No other John Wright has been identified as a possible son of John Wright (Westmoreland County Overseer), which means that 1792 John Wright could fill that role. The fourth and final piece of evidence is a common connection to another family through marriage. As set forth above, the Westmoreland County Court Order identified the wife of John Wright the Overseer as (Williams) Wright, the daughter of Rice Williams. The wife of 1792 John Wright's son 1789 John Wright of Surry County, North Carolina, was Ann (Williams) Wright. The connection of John Wright the Overseer to the Williams family in Westmoreland County and the son of 1792 John Wright to the Williams family in Fauquier County indicate a connection between the two Wright families involved with the Williams families. For these reasons 1792 John Wright of Fauquier County was possibly the son of John Wright (Westmoreland County Overseer) and (Williams) Wright. Further research will be required to confirm this identification and I welcome comments and additional evidence that either supports or contradicts this tentative identification. Robert N.

Author: map2knit Surnames: Wright, Goza, Hale Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.wright/15276.2.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Mildred: Thank you for your kind response. I guess I should have mentioned the census which I had found over three years ago. On 26 Feb 2005, I wrote to Susan (2C2R): "...I found a grant for James H Wright. Because of the way names seem to keep repeating in my family, I thought this might be my grandfather. So I ordered the file from NARA. However, the homesteader turned out to be too old for my grandfather, but may be the J H Wright listed as head of the house in the 1870 census. However, this household is intriguing because a son is the right age to be my grandfather..." We had already established our relationship through my grandmother, Sarah Ellen (mentioned below). On 28 Feb, Susan replied: "This is probably the right family. They are living in the same township as A.H. (Alfred H.) Goza in 1870. As you know, Sara Ellen was 3 years old and listed as his daughter. They are living in Township 9, Range 8. J.H. Wright is in Township 9, Range 7. Looks like you have found your grandfather's family..." We still don't know if "Next Door George", age 66 is father to J H. But I do have George, Carolyn and Samantha as an unconnected family of three in my database; so connecting them would be a very simple step by adding parents to J H and using the "Select EXISTING Person" button. (That's the RootsMagic program.) For another surname, Sarah Ellen's mother was Nancy Jane Hale, b. 1832 VA; m. 1849 AL. Mildred, what is your connection to the Wright's?

The petition was not filed by Simeon Wright, it was filed by his widow. 2. He was stricken from the List of the Loyalists, by the British Government of Canada. He was stricken because there was absolutely no evidence that he ever served in any Loyalist unit. The ONLY "evidence" of this was the petition filed by his widow. 3. The Simeon Wright granted provisions by the British between July 1 and August 31, 1786 was a Simeon Wright from Conneticut. This Simeon remained in Canada. Captain Simeon Wright was buried in Rutland, Vermont (his burial is documented in "Vermont Revolutionary Rolls". Since his widow was the one that filed the petition, and it is dated February 16, 1786, it is impossible for Captain Simeon Wright to have received provisions between July 1 and August 31 of 1786. There would have been no reason for a woman to file a petition on behalf of her husband, unless he were dead. In Sarah Wright's case, three of her daughters and one son had gone to Canada, so after her husband died, she followed. She tried, and failed, to get LAND, by claiming losses of personal property in Vermont. ANY person that could prove such losses because of Loyalist activity was automatically given a land grant in Canada. That claim was rejected. If, as Richard claims it was not filed too late, then it would have been rejected on its merits. That alone would prove that Captain Simeon Wright was not a Loyalist. It is very interesting that her son Wait Wright, who could prove that he had served for 6 months in a British Unit, was able to sell his property in Rutland, while living in Quebec. If he could sell his property from Canada, why couldn't Mrs. Wright have sold hers? It is very easy to confuse one person for another.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: richardwright142 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.wright/15221.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The obvious purpose of my first post was to ask any living "Mr. Wrights" to join in the DNA project, but, since this last post of "oldmedico" has inaccuracies in it, I have to respond. To keep the record clear, I must explain that I have three pieces of information that seem to indicate that Simeon Wright, born 1726, was a Loyalist, beginning sometime after 1781. While I am not an expert on who is, and who is not, a Loyalist, the evidence seems to be quite strong (as opposed to "absolutely no evidence" as stated in the previous post of "oldmedico") 1. I have a copy of the original documents referred to in the "oldmedico" post and while he says that it was a petition for a land grant, it is actually a Claim for Compensation for Losses. The document itself clearly says that it is for "losses sustained by Simeon Wright formerly inhabitant of Rutland, State of Vermont & County of Bennington (But at present Inhabitant of Canada) An account of his Loyalty and attachment to British Government." This exact quote was followed by a list of Wheat, Rye, Indian Corn, Potatoes, Peas, Horses, Cattle, Swine, Household furniture, "Waring" apparel and a quantity of Flax, along with the monetary values. This document was filed by Sarah Wright on behalf of "her husband Simeon Wright" under oath on February 16, 1786. This is not a petition for a land grant. Further, to refer to other information in the "oldmedico" post, while it is clearly stamped "Rejected", I think that people are making too much of an assumption to say it was reje! cted because it was filed too late. If you want to examine this document yourself, you can see why people might start assuming the "too late" reason for rejection, but I think that might be wrong to assume that. This Claim is from Bundle 81 and an image can be examined at the LDS Library in Salt Lake City. I prefer to look at images of the originals, whenever feasible, because frequently the information is garbled in the abstracts and/or transcriptions and/or posts. 2. The second piece of information that seems to show he was a Loyalist is that he is listed as one on page 331 of "The Old United Empire Loyalists List" by Milton Rubincam 1976 (Reprint of 1885). This book claims to be the "official list" in it's forward. I have not examined any images of the original source documents of Rubincam. I know that the UEL has exacting standards, and, if it would help, I'll just say right here "OK maybe he wasn't a proven UE Loyalist". No offense, but I don't really care about that strict category. (His wife swore under oath that he was a Loyalist !) 3. Simeon Wright was granted provisions by the British between July 1, and August 31 1786 on the "List of Loyalists of and attached to the Kings late Rangers victualled at the 3rd Township above Cataraqui (Fredericksburgh)" according to the transcriptions of the Provisioning Lists in "Early Ontario Settlers, A Source Book" by Norman K. Crowder 1993 So, he was granted provisions in a Loyalist settlement, filed a claim for losses as a Loyalist, and is listed on the official list of Loyalists. What more is necessary to say that he was "a Loyalist". He moved to Canada with other Loyalists before, or in, 1786 and #3 is the last record that I have been able to find on his whereabouts. I have found no evidence of him returning to the US, all of the references to that incorrectly mix him up with his son Simeon 1750-1847 or grandson Simeon 1773-1833, both of whom lived in Vermont then lived and died in Ohio. Actually, distant cousins also named Simeon Wright have been incorrectly linked also. I dream of someone, someday, finding an old grave in Canada for Simeon Wright b. 1726, died after 1786. I looked at many other sources that I am not citing here, and of course his son Wait Wright appears to have been a Loyalist (I hope everyone is happy with that choice of words). I have not, however, done an exhaustive examination of the old documents in Canada, or England regarding any of the Loyalist angle except #1 above. If someone wants to contribute accurate information about Simeon Wright b 1726 from the original 18th century documents in Canada, that may help. I have heard/read that some settlers in Canada went there only for the land offers, or for a better life, but, when we look at the 3 pieces mentioned here, it seems that we have to call him a Loyalist. There is more information from Vermont that seems to indicate Simeon Wright b 1726 may have been a Loyalist, but space and time and disinterest prevent the exposition of that here. Simeon b. 1726, and both of his sons, Simeon b. 1750, and Wait, were "on the side of" the Colonies, initially. In his Revolutionary War Pension Application, Simeon Wright b.1750 said that he was in the first party that crossed the lake and entered Fort Ticonderoga in 1775 and that he saw the British Officer surrender his sword to Col. Ethan Allen. Simeon b. 1750 remained in Rutland, VT through most of the War and for decades afterwards. By the way, some of my most important research finally linked Simeon b. 1750 to his father Simeon b. 1726 and his father Daniel b. 1697 by obtaining and analyzing images of 18th century documents. That is why we can now refer to the Simeon Wright, father of Wait, and, Simeon b. 1750, as Simeon b. 1726. Exactly: he was born January 25, 1726 in Northfield, MA. The explanation of the proof of this is many pages long, but undeniable. I'm open to criticism based on original source information and good analysis. Sorry for length. I hope this helps. If anyone out there knows a living Mr. Wright in our branch, please have him read my first post about DNA.
