There have been at least two versions of this corner of Wright genealogy around since at least a century. My grandfather worked with Josephine Frost on her book and expended a lot of time trying to disentangle the possibilities. Sadly a complete version of his workings and conclusions has not made it down to me, but I have the sense that despite the time spent, he and JF never got beyond a "balance of probabilities" level of confidence. Also, I'm not sure they agreed! There may be someone out there with the time and inclination to dig back into the original sources and form a firmer conclusion. Maybe that's you. ?!
From a wikitree perspective, it's so much easier to implement a merger than correctly to disentangle all the contradications a few years later when someone decides it was a mistake. So my own starting point will always be "when in doubt, don't do the wikitree merger" I don't know what my grandfather would say: I never met him. But from here - I am living in England, and less mobile than I used to be - I have no prospect of getting into the thing in sufficient depth to maybe form my own judgement. The wikitree entries are currently excessively dependent on one source, and that tends to be the case more widely, since long before anyone thought of creating wikitree. Secondary (?tertiary..) sources tend to piggyback directly or indirectly, with or without attribution, on Josephine Frost's little book. I'm afraid I'm keeping out of this one. But thank you for the thought triggers.
Be well
