On 4-8-1766,James Wright,s/o Isaac and Sidney Wright,is admitted to Membership in Hopewell MM.

On 1-4-1771,Sidney Wright "ask for her son Solomon"

From there on,no mention is made of Isaac in Quaker records

From Court Order Book for Fredrick County,Virgina 4-4 1773:"Be it ordered that the church warders of Fredrick parish do bind Solomon Wright,s/o Isaac Wright,unto Abel Walker until he comes of age,who is to teach him to read and write and cypher and teach him the trade of a Cooper. Mary Wright,d/o Isaac and Sidney,was bound out to Richard Ridgeway until she came of age.She was to be taught to read and write

Fredrick County records show that Isaac's will was probated in 1777.His death was not reported by a member of his family.Fredrick County Will Book 4 pp.368 and 369 "Inventory and appraisal of the estate of Isaac Wright,deceased,it being brought to our view by Jessee Faulkner Adm.this 31st day of the fifth month 1777",then follow a list of his belongings.

From these entires,one could assume that Isaac and Sidney had marital problems,Isaac was blamed and disowned.He moves out and takes Solomon and gets it.By the family not reporting Isaac's death,complete alienation.is suggested..
