Has Anthony Wright, son of Job Wright been disproven?

Question

I'm looking at ''The Wright Family of Oysterbay, L.I. with the ancestry of and descent from Peter Wright and Nicholas Wright, 1423-1923'' by Howland Delano Perrine and on pages 72 and 81 he lists Anthony Wright (Job 2), d. 1746; m. Elizabeth __. In his will dated December 22, 1739, proved December 10, 1746, he describes himself as "yeoman" of Staten Island, etc.

This person is not on WikiTree. Has he been disproven? There are seven children.

Answer 1

Hi. Anthony Wright of Staten Island d.1746 had a witness to his will who was his brother Andrew Wright. Andrew also lived in Staten Island and died a few years after Anthony. The will of Job Wright of Oyster Bay mentions no son named Andrew. Anthony Wright of Oyster Bay in 1708 sells his portion from his father and is no longer in OB. Now in 1762 in Camden South Carolina an Anthony Wright dies and in his will mentions a wife Mary children Job Wright and Rachel Weeks. He first came there in 1743. Could this be the Anthony son of Job of OB?

Thank you for the lead,  Loren. You are not stuck deep within a rabbit hole,  are you? This question is over a year old, lol.

Hi Lucy, and welcome to WikiTree. Thank you for introducing yourself to us in our g2g forum.  This is also the place you come to to ask about your ancestors. I would suggest that you upgrade to a family membership as your next step.  You could then add tags that would represent the names of your family ancestors and/or the locations where they lived.  This would, in turn, connect you to any members  on WikiTree that are researching the same names and locations that you are.

Once again, welcome to WikiTree, and I hope you learn to love it as much as I do.
