Miriam Wright:
Notes:
!NOTES:I think it is quite possible that Miriam is the mother of Aaron Wright (c1765/1771) who was associated with her family. If so, he was either born out of wedlock, prior to her marriage to David Riggs, or Miriam was previously married to a Mr. Wright who died before ca 1772. If the latter is the case, then Miriam may not be a Wright by birth at all, but a widow Wright when she married David Riggs.
