Joseph had a certificate to Wateree M.M. SC in 1762, probably from the Cane Creek MM and ROCG to Bush River, SC in 1776. He was disowned for reasons unknown on 1774,8,27 by Bush River MM. His wife is said to have been Charity Wells, but if this is true he would have married his Step-Aunt. (C-628,646,724)

Joseph Wright is likely the Joseph Wright who owned land next to brothers William and John on Bush Creek, Berkley Co., SC by Oct. 16, 1770. (C-1412)

Bron lists his death date as Jan. 8, 1794, in Bush River, Newberry, SC though I have also seen it listed as 1789 instead. There is a Joseph Wright whose estate was probated in 1794 in Newberry. It is in will book A, p. 244. He names a Charity Wright in it as adminstrator. W.A.'s are listed as James Patty, Daniel Parkins, Philemon Waters, and Mark Smith. Appraised items included farm animals, carpenter and turners tools, cotton wheel, books, kitchenware, farm tools and beds. (C-1991, 2082)
