Hello Everyone;

I will try once more to see if there is anyone on here who is
researching New England Wrights. Specifically MA. & Vt. Wrights.

I am looking for a William Wright that I believe was b. in either MA.
or CT. in the 1700's. He was in Sutton,Ma. in 1781,as he and his wife
Johanna or Joanna had a dau. Lydia b. They then disappear and I find him
in Colchester,VT. He d. there in 1802 according to his will. Wife Joanna
d. later in Colchester,VT.

I also believe they had a son Benjamin,but I cannot prove this, b abt
1790 or 1791. He appears in the VR's in Colchester and or
Winooski,marrying at least three times. Last wife Margaret Prevey and
has I believe 7 children by her and when he d in 1850's,he leaves her
with these children ranging in age from 13 yrs.to 18 months. This from
his will.

Now my brick wall is connecting Benjamin to William and Joanna.

Is anyone else researching this Wright family from New England?
