1-a- Sir John Wright. '

Sir John (1-a) and Olive Wright had fight children: the order and date <>f their birth is nut fully known: their father i his will mentions four sons: their mother in hers, four sons and three daughters. The other daughter mentioned on the memorial tablet doubtless died young.

Their son. "Myddle John." made his will in 1358, in which he mentioned five children, and an unborn child, all minors, showing him to have been at that time in middle life. He married a widow and was probably about 24 years of aire at the time of his marriage: allowing from that time 12 year? fur the birth of his five children, his marriage would have been in 1546, and if 24 at that time, his birth wouid have been in 1522 and if he was his father's fifth child, and13i years allowed after his father's marriage for the birth of five children, and his father 21 at the time of his marriage, his father would have been born in 1488 and married in 1509.

It would therefore appear that Sir John Wright of Kelvedon Hall was born in 1488. married Olive ( prohably Hubbard. See will ofi her son John 6-e) in 1509 and died in 1551. aged 63 years.

This agrees precisely with the claim that Sir John was the son of Rev. John and Agnes Wright of Upminster and White Notley whose son John was of full age" in 1509, and grandson of Henry and Anna (Whitebread) Wright.

The children of Sir John and Olive and probable dates of their birth were:

2-a- Eldest John Wright, b. 1510. *

3-b- Katherine Wright, b. 1513. *

4-c- Robert Wright, b. 1516. *

5-d- Alice Wright, b. 1519, m. Perkins, and had issue; names unknown.

6-e- Middle John Wright, b. 1522. *

7-f- Young John Wright, b. 1524. *

8-g- Elizabeth Wright, b. 1526, m. _____Shepherd; issue unknown.

The name Wright was originally spelled "Wryght" as is shown by wills and early entries in parish registers, one of which is as follows:

"* * * their son Robert, heir, m. Anne, daughter of Thomas Grimston by fyrst wiff, son, William Wryght, heir."

Alternate Birth Date: 2/22/1496
