Another one reports a bit differently:

[from the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, January 1881. Volume XXXV. pp. 75-76] GENEALOGY OF LIEUT. ABEL WRIGHT OF SPRINGFIELD, MASS. By Rev. Stephen Wright, of Glen’s Falls, N.Y. <following exerpted from the full document> 2. Joseph2 Wright (Abel1), b. Sept. 1, 1660, at Springfield; m. Sarah Osborne, Dec. 29, 1687, and had eight children, born in S., as below. He must have followed his younger brother Abel to Lebanon, Conn., about 1708, as a petition of his to the town authorities is on record there, dated Dec. 13, 1708, asking for a grant of land near Abel Wright’s first division, “because the enemy had spoiled and carried away much of his estate” at Springfield; which was granted him Dec. 17th, 1808. How long he continued at L. we are unable to say. His children, born at S., were: i. Mindwell, b. Sept. 24, 1688, and d. young. ii. Joseph Jr., b. Oct. 14. 1690. iii. Sarah, b. Nov. 20, 1692, and m. probably June 20, 1719, Hezekiah Porter, of Hartford, Conn. iv. Benjamin, b. Nov. 11, 1694, and slain by the Indians in 1712. v. Mindwell, 2d, b. March 4, 1697. vi. Martha, b. June 16. 1699; m. probably, Jonathan Old, Feb. 18, 1720. vii. Mary, b. Sept. 24, 1702. viii. Rachel, b. Dec. 4, 1706. Can give no more of this family now.
