Research Notes

Donald W Smith: Apparently, there are two Hannah Fletchers that may be easily confused with each other, both born in Chelmsford MA to a father named Samuel:

1. b. 1676, m. Ebenezer Wright b. 1665, dau of Samuel Fletcher b. 1652 and wife Hannah Wheeler, d. 1759 THIS PROFILE (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LJ5Y-RPC)
2. b. 1666, possibly second wife of John Wright IV, dau of Samuel Fletcher b. 1632 and wife Margaret Hailston, d. unknown NO WIKITREE PROFILE as of 7/28/22 (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LZFZ-KKJ)

Of interest for DNA matching, these Wrights and Fletchers were both close relatives:

1. John Wright IV and Ebenezer Wright were both sons of John Wright Sr. and wife Abigal Warren
2. Samuel Fletcher b. 1652 was the grandson of Robert Fletcher and Samuel Fletcher b. 1632 was the son of the same Robert Fletcher.

I do not believe that this is the Hannah Fletcher that was second wife of John Wright IV.

There is a note under the father of Hannah b. 1666 Samuel Fletcher regarding probate of his death (intestate) in 1700 that implies that there was only one daughter living at that time, named as Lydia. The author suggests that daughter Hannah must not have been living at that time to marry Ebenezer Wright Ebenezer Wright
