Pat I made Samuel Wright the father from scratch. I am a descendant of his brother and have been working on the tree for some time. I found a record on ancestry but and working to get better resources to confirm information further.
Mother removed from profile as she could not have given birth to Benjamin 10 years after her death.

Hawkins-720 could not have been the mother of this person's profile as she was lived 1713-1773; 21 years after her death, Benjamin was born. Please research.
