| Notes |
- In "Richard Wright of Rehoboth and some of his relatives", Betty Davis c oncludes that there are two or more Richard Wrights living in early New E ngland: Richard Wright the Millwright Of Rehoboth and Richard Wright th e tailor of Plymouth. This prevalence bears careful watch in researchin g the two families. It is uncertain when our Richard Wright came to America since Richard W right is a common in England but it is believed that our Richard Wright c ame from Stepney. Middlesex, England. In Rev Richard Wright's, father o f our Capt Richard Wright, will dated 1 Apr 1633. he left his home to h is wife, Frances, for life an thento his son, Richard "if be in England ." This would imply that at that time time Richard Wright was either pl anning to leave England or had already absent himself to America. It is b elieved that Richard left in 1630 in theWinthrop Fleet from Stephey, Mi ddlesex, England with three daughters, Elinor, Abigail, and Elizabeth w ith a Margaret Wright. Boston church records dated 27 Aug 1630 show Ric hard Wright and Margaret Wright as members.
