Notes |
- !NOTES:This family is profiled in "The Wright Family," by George
William Wright, 1929. I have not seen it. Apparently it lists Gideon & Hezekiah as children of John Wright and Ruth Ludlum. Hezekiah married Catherine Wright of Flushing, NY. Their children:
Gideon m Rebecca Petit
This note also given:
"Gideon And Hezekiah moved to PA, then to Augusta County, VA and finally to Rowan County, NC. Surry County was created out of Rowan and Gideon's land became part of Surry County. Gideon was a Captain and Hezekiah was a Lieutenant in the Kings Army."
No proof given as far as I'm aware (mg)
