John Wright

Not a known son of Thomas Wright, of Isle of Wight

John Wright

• Birth: ABT 1650 in Bristol, Avon, England or Isle of Wight, Virginia
• Death: 5 AUG 1736 in Isle of Wight, Virginia

Note: John might be English or Welsh. Some sources list Robert and Alice Lawtie Wright as his parents. This is incorrect. They are the parents of "Quaker Joshua" Wright and he did have a brother named John. But Joshua's brother, John's date of birth is May 25, 1640, Howden, East Riding, Yorkshire, England; and records show he had only three children by an unknown wife - Mary, Alice and Arthur.

'There is a possibility that the John Wright who witnesses a deed transaction between John Taylor, Sheriff and Joseph Bulkey on Nov 30, 1724 in Chester County, PA is this John Wright.
