Ann Wright

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hathaway-176

Ann Hathaway was born around 1755 in Pitt County, North Carolina. Her parents were Thomas Hathaway, Sr. and his wife Martha.[1][2]

Around 1785, she married Isaac Wright in Pitt County, North Carolina. There, they started their family:[3][1]

• Zachariah (1786-1799)
• Temperance, b. 1788
• Merinda, b. 1790
• Elizabeth (1792-1845, m. Joseph Blackburn
• Nancy (1794-1838)
• Stephen (1800-1851)

In 1790, the Wrights were still living in Pitt County.[4] Ann's father, Thomas Hathaway, Sr. was still a resident of Pitt County also,[5] and it's likely that Ann's husband Isaac worked for her father, producing tar and pitch.[2] Well before 1800, the Wrights had moved to Sampson County.[6]

Shortly after 1800, they moved again, to Bladen County. There, Isaac acquired land and they lived in the area that became known as Iron Hill Community.[2]

Isaac died in 1806, and Ann lived on, in the same location. (Columbus County was formed from part of Bladen County.) She is listed as head of household in 1820's U.S. Federal Census for Columbus County.[7]

Ann passed away after 7 Aug 1820 (the date of enumeration of the 1820 census). A monument honoring Isaac and Ann Wright, and their son Stephen, stands at Stephen's grave in Stephens-Wright Cemetery, Sandy Plain, Columbus, North Carolina.[8]
