Dr. Wright died in 1655 , and was succeeded by his eldest surviving son, George: Of George Wright, the eldest surviving son, we have the following information: George Wright, esq. of Bolton-on-Swale, born in 1629, who m. first, Beatrice, daughter of James Mauleverer, (he was great-great-grandson of Sir William Mauleverer, Knt. of Arncliffe, by Jane, daughter of Sir John Conyers, of Sockburne, in Durham. This ancient family, which but recently became extinct, was descended, in a direct male line, from Sir Richard Muleteer, knight, who came into England with William the Conquerer, by whom he was appointed master of the forests, chases, and parks north of Trent.) esq. of Arncliffe, in Yorkshire, by Beatrice, daughter of Sir Timothy Hutton, of Marske, (by his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir George Bowes, of Streatlam, in the county palatine of Durham, the knight marshall, who suppressed the great northern rebellion, headed by the potent earls of Westmoreland and Northumberland, temp. Queen Elizabeth,) and had issue.[2]
Mr. Wright wedded; secondly, a lady named Margaret, but of what family is not recorded, and left at his decease, 06 Jun 1674, another son:[2]
George Wright, of Boulton, Richmondshire, son of Francis Wright, esq; bred at Danby (Mr. Smelt); admitted pensioner, tutor and surety Mr. Pauson, 14 May 1647 ["Admissions to the College of St. John the Evangelist in the University of Cambridge" By St. John's College (University of Cambridge)][2]
There is uncertainty about one of his daughters. She may be the Ann (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wright-4595) who married a William Rose, but no proof has been given for that Ann's possible surname.
