Biography
Lidiah Wright, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth, was born in Wethersfield, 12 March 1672/73.[1]
She married, 13 September 1695 at Wethersfield, Israel Crane.[2][3] According to Probate Records Israel Crane was a collector in 1700 and a large land owner. He owned north land in Wright's Island. His estate was 444 Pounds plus. He died in 1707.
Lydia (Wright) Crane is named in the nuncupative will (1711) of her brother Thomas Wright.
9 February, 1719/20, Lydia Crane and Jonathan Belding, admins. on the estate of Israel Crane, exhibit an account of their administration.[4]
Lydia (Wright) Crane was possibly still living after 17 August 1731 when the shares of her daughters in their father's house (including her widow's dower), are ordered to be set out to them. (Lydia is not named, but it is also not obvious that she is deceased.)[4]

This Thomas Wright was the son of Thomas Wright and Elizabeth Chittenden.
Thus, Lydia who m. Israel Crane was NOT the daughter of James and Dorcas (Weede) Wright.
Detaching from James and Dorcas (Weede) Wright and attaching to correct parents, Thomas and Elizabeth (Chittenden) Wright.
Should be merged with existing Lydia, d. of Thomas, and detached from Joseph Smith.
The Lydia Wright who m. Joseph Smith was the sister of Thomas Wright, Sr.
