Research Notes

He probably didn't have a middle name - I think he's been confused with a relative Rev Robert Wright. I found and updated Laurence Wright, physician. His brother was Rev Robert Wright (1556-1624) (see the last paragraph) - he was a Calvinist/Puritan until he conformed after a stint in prison and somewhat eminent. Maybe that's the mixup with the "eminent theologian of Dagnams near South Weald".

I think Dagnams is abbreviated from Dagenhams Manor in Romford which was purchased by a descendant Dr. Thomas Wright in 1633, and is down the road from South Weald and Upminster.

I looked into the advowson of Upminster - he or one of his descendants possibly purchased it from the Vaux family since a recusant John Wright of Kelvedon held the advowson until his death in 1609 but the King presented in for the minor Edward Vaux, 4th Lord Vaux so maybe it was a kind of lease, or it was forfeit.

The Wrights were almost certainly yeoman until John bought Kelvedon Hall, so I'm unclear the connection to 'Dagenham's manor' The manor in Dagenham was owned by the Barking Abbey until the dissolution, Dagnams above was owned during his supposed lifetime by Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, Avery Cornburgh, Sir William Hussey and Sir John Hussey.

Why was he married in Cheshire?

The DNA matches a much later descendant - his relationships should be uncertain (or removed)
