Research Notes

I visited Fairview Cemetery today and took some photos of a group of Wright graves, standing in a row:

Ebenzer Wright Family of Westford

This is the order, left to right:

Ebenezer Wright, 1735

Hannah (Fletcher) Wright Hildreth

Ebenezer Wright (1705-1781)

Deliverence Wright (-1789)

• One more small one I can't read.

Is this enough to declare the correct husband of Deliverence to be Ebenezer (1705-1781) ?

The other [Wright-2444 | Ebenezer (1693-?)] may have married a Deborah Wincoll in Boston in 1728 and had Mary in Chelmsford, 1729.

This conclusion would also make Hodgman, who says it was the Ebenezer born in 1693, wrong.

I will try to locate the Ebenezer Wright (1693-1735) on Find A Grave: Memorial #35936143 in Hillside Cemetery.
