WRIGHT, Charity ^{1 2 3 4 5}

  General Notes:

I have used the birth date for Charity from her biography, CHARITY WRIGHT COOK, A LIBERATED WOMEN. Hinshaw gives the birth date of 11-13-1742, a day after her sister Margarets. This has been decided to be in error by her biographer. She was disowned by the Cane Creek MM, NC on 1761,2,7 for engaging in carnal behavior. She was reinstated into the Quaker church as an adult (after the boy that had accused her starting accusing many women and was basically caught lying). She became a well-loved Quaker minister who traveled much of each year in the colonies and in Europe during Revolution in both, to serve the Quakers. She seemed to stay home long enough to have each child, and then travel on while her husband cared for the family. She apparently had cousins who were Rothchilds in England, whom she probably visited while in Europe. Many incidents of her life are recalled in her biography. One from a family reunion provided by descendant, Bob Henry, tells of a crossing of Kaben Creek. The water apparently drowned two horses. Isaac saved himself by riding a "chunk of wood" while Charity made it across by swimming. There is discrepancy in her death date. CD-102 differs in her death date, stating it was 13 Nov. 1820 and occurred in Clinton Co., Ohio (C-517) I have again chosen the well researched biography's birth date for her. ^{7 8}
