Paternal line Y-chromosome DNA test-takers:
As noted in the bio above, this Samuel Wright (1698-1718) -- there was a slew of 'em -- was the s/o Ensign Abel Wright (1664-1745) & Rebecca [Terry] Wright. The Find a Grave reference cited above for Memorial # 46185032 provides the comment "aged 20 years"; so, as other records (including the Mass. U.S. Town & Vital Records, 1620-1988) indicate, Samuel was born to Able & Rebeckah (sic) Wright 2 Dec 1698. The children mentioned in the bio above were the children of this Samuel's paternal uncle, also a Samuel Wright (1679-1755). The latter married twice, 1st to Mary Case with whom there were 3 children, and 2nd to Anna Loomis with whom 5 children are recorded. Their birth dates are ALL AFTER the death of Samuel Wright (1698-1718). The bio should be corrected.
