WRIGHT, Thomas ^{1 2 3 4}

  General Notes:

Thomas has served in the Revolutionary War along with his brother Isaac, according to Isaac's Pension application in 1838. (C-1991)

Descendants say that he had all of his children by his first wife, Elizabeth Jay. He moved to Indiana after marrying his second wife, Elizabeth Voss. However, treat this second marriage with caution as there is a Thomas Jay who married an Elizabeth Vice in Union Co. (SC?) and left a will there. (C-2034)

Maybe the confusion comes from the fact that there are two Thomas Write's listed in the 1790 Newberry Co., SC census. They lived in the same region and could easily be related. One had 2 males over 16, 1 under 16 and 2 females. The other 1 male over 16, 2 under 16 and 4 females. They lived in the same region as John (C.) Wright had lived.

Thomas married Elizabeth JAY, daughter of William JAY Jr. and Elizabeth UNKNOWN, in 1785. (Elizabeth JAY was born on Apr 16, 1769 ⁵ and died in 1803.)

  Marriage Notes:

before Aug. 28, 1787 as he is listed in Quaker records on that date as marrying out of unity. (C-1203)

Thomas next married Elizabeth VOSS about 1804.
