Nicholas was born in about 1550 to William and Ann (Thornton) Wright. He would marry twice in his life, first to Margaret Wilson, the daughter of Sir John Wilson, Jr. and Elizabeth Wilson. Nicholas and Margaret would have two sons:
Francis Wright (abt. 1573-circa 1664)
Peter Wright (1574-1617)
Nicholas next married Tina Gilbert. Evidently there were no children by this union.
Finally, Nicholas had a mistress whose name remains unknown but he had two sons with this woman:
Peter Wright, of Knedlington (abt. 1564-1617)
Ralfe Wright, of Knedlington (abt. 1575-1629)
According to the records found, Nicholas Wright passed away in around 1648. That would make him around 98 years old at the time of his death.
