Samuel WRIGHT, (DEACON)
2001 Ordinance Index
OTHER: Birth dates of parents (1622 and 1621) do not match with the birth dates of the children. Further analysis is necessary.
Springfield Families, Vol 1-4 , Pg. 770
ORDINANCES: Temple work done as "spouse." OTHER: The birth location may be suspect, but it was what was in the IGi file.
FAMILY: The NEHGR references for the Wright family (1850: Vol 4, Pgs. 355-358 and 1886: Vol 40, Pg. 280-282) do not place Hannah in this family. However, the History of the Stebbins family, in that publication (1851: Vol 5, Pg. 352) indicates that Hannah Wright was a daughter of Deacon Samuel Wright. There was only one Deacon Samuel Wright living in Norhampton in the early 1600's. The NEHGR referenced a father or brother that might have come to the colonies with Samuel. His name was Nathaniel. A check of Ancestsry.com's World Tree indicated 1 instance where this Hannah was shown as the daughter of a Nathaniel, and that was not at all documented. On the other hand, there were nearly 200 instances of Hannah Wright shown as a daughter of Samuel Wright and married to Thomas Stebbins. Inasmuch as this is not an ancestral line, we have concluded that we will place Hannah in the Samuel Wright family until further evidence of her parentage is found.........Bla 02/02/02
