About Mary Wright

Mary Wright (Starkey) married Samuel Wright in England and emigrated to New Jersey with him in 1679. Her parents are unknown.

Some web trees hypothesize Lancashire Starkey parents, but these invariably have completely implausible dates.

Other web trees have Mary's maiden name not being Starkey but rather Hampton. The dates work out in that case but then obviously "Starkey" would not be her maiden name, and there's also the strong possibility that she's been confused with her daughter Sarah who married a Hampton. Perhaps more research will clarify this.
