7. | James Wright (4.Jane3, 2.Vincent2, 1.A.1) was born in 1643 in Guilford, New Haven County, Connecticut; died on 10 Mar 1712 in Killingworth, Middlesex County, Connecticut. Notes:
James WRIGHT, son of Benjamin, the immigrant, was born in 1643, and died
in 1727. His wife, Hannah WALSTONE, came from England to marry him, having been selected by a mutual friend. She died in 1719. A memorial tablet citing some of
these facts is still to be found in the Clinton cemetery. As stated previously,
James and his brother, Joseph, had difficulty in the division of their father's
estate. In 1791 a committee appointed by the Colonial General Assembly brought
in their report concerning boundaries of land between James and Joseph WRIGHT,
which was accepted by the General Assembly and confirmed to be a final issue of
all controversy over land boundaries between them. In general terms the line
between Killingworth and Saybrook was made the boundary of their farms, James
holding on the Saybrook and Joseph on the Killingworth side. James is supposed
to have resided at what has been known more recently as the Abner KIRTLAND
place. The records of Oyster River Quarter show that he was a large landowner,
deeds of land aggregating several hundred acres, located in what is now the
town of Westbrook, having been given by him to various persons between 1720 and
1727. James and Hannah (WALSTONE) WRIGHT had three children, James, Benjamin
(the next in line to Alfred Mortimer) and Mercy. James married Sarah WISE, by
whom he had a son James. For his second wife he married Judith BUSHNELL, and
they had a son Samuel, from whom are descended the WRIGHTS of Pond Meadow. Two
brothers of a later generation of this branch, Joab and John, went to New
Durham, N. Y., and from one of them descended Silas WRIGHT, Governor of New
York and United States Senator from that State. Mercy WRIGHT married William
STANNARD, and one of their descendants, Daniel STANNARD, resided in Westbrook.
Family/Spouse: Hannah Walstone. Hannah was born about 1650 in England; died on 15 Nov 1719 in Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
