2. | Thomas WRIGHT, Sr. (1.Grace1) was born about 19 Nov 1610 in Brook Hall, Delavon Manor, Essex County, England; was christened on 19 Nov 1610; died on 21 Apr 1670 in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut, USA. Notes:
Excerpt from "The Wright Line": It is believed by some expert researchers that Thomas married #2? Margaret Butler, after his first wife, Mary died. There is some confusion WHEN Mary died and thus why the confusion with the second marriage. Because of these confusions, it is possible that Mary died shortly after Joseph was born, and it is possible that Thomas married again and had Joseph. Whatever may have happened, a son was born (Joseph).
Name:
He came to Wethersfield, perhaps from Watertown, before 1639; (Judge Adams' article in Ancient Wethersfield, I, p. 317.); was on the jury of the Particular Court of Conn., Sept. 1643; Selectmen, 1658; committee on town lines, etc; Freeman, May 18, 1654 and constable, 1668/9. He was prominent in church disputes with Rev. John Russell which led many to move to Hadley, Mass. His home lot of three and one-half acres in Wethersfield, was on the west side of High Street, where his home was built, probably before 1639. It was recorded to him Feb. 11, 1640/1. He bought a house, barn and five acres of Samuel Hale on the west side of Back Lane, also the Richard Belden lot of twenty and one-half acres in the West Field in 1654. He also purchased a large part of the Great Island, thereafter known as Wright's Island and which he gave mostly to his sons, Thomas and James.
While it is generally stated that he was a son of John and Grace (Glasscock) Wright of South Weald, Essex, England, there is no absolute proof of it.
