  • Notes 
    • Elisabeth HAND, of Southampton, L. I., who, it is asserted by some authorities, was the daughter of Joseph and Jane (WRIGHT) HAND, and thus a cousin of her husband. However, it is elsewhere stated, on good authority, that "she was the daughter of Benjamin
      and Elizabeth (WHITTIER) HAND." The date of her death is given in the Westbrook
      Church Records as 1767, when she was ninety years of age. Benjamin WRIGHT died
      in 1751.

      Their children were Benjamin, Jeremiah, Josiah, David, Prudence, Lydia
      and Elisabeth. There is record of but two, Josiah and David. The former has a
      large estate on Horse Hill. David had a large estate by the sea extending to
      the main road between Saybrook and Killingworth and tradition says they
      quarreled over the fisheries. David, who was born in 1716, died in 1760 of
      smallpox, in a pest-house on Duck Island, and was buried on his own land. His
      memorial is on a large rock in the grove at Grove Beach, Clinton. Among his
      descendants were Jedediah and Oramel WRIGHT, of Westbrook; Edward and Doty
      WRIGHT, of Clinton; and Martha WRIGHT, Mrs. Steuben LAY, of Horse Hill. William
      WRIGHT, who served as governor of New Jersey, and as United States Senator from
      that State, was also one of David's descendants. He had a son connected with a
      foreign legation, and the latter's daughter is now the widow of Baron GEROLD,
      who was at one time, Ambassador from Holland to this country and subsequently
      Ambassador from Holland to Russia. She lives in Europe. Her son, the present
      Baron GEROLD, now minister from Holland at Washington, is said to be very proud
      of his American ancestry.
