New Jersey is just across the Delaware River from Bucks County so this make sense to me, the problem for me is all the Wright families seem to have name their children the same Family Names, so it is very hard to determined who would have been Benjamin's father and his father, I have been targeting the Wright's for Bucks County and I think I have found the right family but cannot be 100% sure . The family is Stephen Wright in Bucks County Pa with the family line I believe going thur the Thomas Wright married to Mary Schooly I have used the maps on ancestry.com and the family is from the same area, I would love any input that you have on my theories.
