Descendants of Nicholas Wright




Generation No. 1


1. NICHOLAS1 WRIGHT (Source: 1800 census.) was born Bef. 1776 (Source: 1830 census.), and died Aft. 1830 (Source: 1830 census.).

Notes for NICHOLAS WRIGHT:
THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN FATHER AND SONS ARE NOT PROVEN, BUT ARE VERY LIKELY.

1800 DE Sussex Dagsborough 100 p425st
Nicholas Wright with 3 free colored in household
Assumption is that Nicholas is young and just starting a family.
1810 and 1820 not found. In 1810, no free colored Wright families were found in either Dagsboro 100 or Broad Creek 100 except for Cornelius Right[sic] with 4 in the household. In 1820, none were found in Sussex except for an over-45 Jacob Wright in Broadkiln 100.

Nicholas is 55-99, his wife is 36-54, with the broad implication of birthdates in the 1760s or 1770s. The three sons are 10-23, including Frederic and Warner and possibly Jacob. Young Nicholas b1821 is not shown here, since he would be under 10 in 1830. Son Warren has a separate listing, including 3 males under 10, one of which would be Nicholas.
1840 not found.

From Stacey, Mitsawokett member, in 1999: Frederic was the twin brother of Warner Wright and a brother of Warren and Nicholas. Since then, it has become clear that Nicholas is not a brother, but the eldest child of Warren. The connection for the brothers to father Nicholas is tenuous, but implied by ages and proximity of locations.
