 Ebenezer Wright Vermont seems to be the vortex of disappearance for Wrights! I am looking for Ebenezer Wright's ancestry. He was the father along with his wife Eunice, of Mary Wright, who married Raymond Fuller. Ebenezer was not listed in an april 1771 heads of families but appears in property records when he sold his property in Putney, Vt. and move to Minhead (Bloomfield) Vt. in 1801 with his sons Ebenezer, Asahel, and Raymond Fuller. He had children, born in Putney, VT:
I also have an article from the NEHGS vol. 35, 1881, on the "Genealogy of Liet. Abel Wright, of Springfield, Mass. There is an account of Ebenezer Wright, (Ebenezer(3),Abel(2), Abel(1) who had ten children, and "has a posterity of over twelve hundred to the tenth generation already attained. He was a farmer, lived in Masfield a few years, then in New Fairfield, Conn, then to NewTown, Sussex Co., NJ and about 1765-6 removed to Shaftsbury Vt. The events of the war of the revolution sent him to Canad West, where he spent the evening of his life with his comapnion and five children near him, at Cornwall and Johstown, where he died July 18, 1809, as his wife had done May 13, 1801, aged 671/2 years. " The author goes on to list the children, which includes an Abraham, but he was born July 13, 1752, m. Sarah Babcock, and had 9 children, and second, Peheb Burt, three more. Of the ten children each had about ten more, and the list is incomplete. I will forward more infor if you want but is is so scant that I'm afraid it won't tell you much. It seems "large postery" was the common theme as it was everywhere. Does that help any? Let me know if you have any information on my Ebenezer.
