Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wright-310

John Wright' was christened on 05 May 1548 at Kelvedon Hatch, Essex, England.

John Wright was apparently educated, somewhere. He and his wife Judith sold lands in the vicinity of Roxwell that she had inherited. He later acquired lands in Hornchurch, lived in "a substantial gabled house" in Wrightsbridge, held some municipal posts, and was overseer of the wills of several relatives.[1] In 1590 he received a Grant of Arms "Azure, two bars argent, in chief three leopards' heads or".[2]

Marriages

John Wright married, first, Judith Linsell/Lindsell, daughter of John, on 8 Sep 1565 in Roxwell, Essex. Judith died in Wrightsbridge and was buried in South Weald on 2 December 1577, one week after the birth of her daughter Rachel. [1][3]

Research Note: Some tertiary sources have it differently. For example, one says that he first married Elizabeth (Emfell) Lindsell, daughter of James Lindsell and Martha Clement, on 27 October 1568 at Wrightsbridge, Essex, England.[4] However, that source does not cite its sources, and a search of English parish records database indicates no such marriage. A find-a-grave memorial calls her Judith Elizabeth Lindsell, but the sources it cited just call her Judith. Conclusions: John Wright's first wife was named Judith Linsell/Lindsell. While she may have had a sister Elizabeth, who may have married someone else, no valid sources have emerged for that possibility.

After Judith's death, John Wright then married Bennett (Greene), daughter of Lawrence Greene of London, about 1580. Bennett Wright died and was buried in South Weald on 25 September 1603.[1]

A John Wright, most likely this man, then married Susan Wright in South Weald on 26 Aug 1605.[1]

Death

"Mr. John Wright of the Bridge" died and was buried in South Weald on 12 Nov 1625. "Mrs. Wright Widowe" was buried on South Weald on 21 Mar 1627.[1][5]
