| Paul Wright | |
| Gender: Male Father: Josiah Wright Mother: Lydia Whittlesey {Wright} Born: C.1769, Saybrook, Middlesex County, CT  Married: Dosha Hurlbut {Wright}, E.Before 1800 Children: Lydia Wright, William Wright, James Wright, Josiah Wright, Harvey Wright, Nelson Wright, John Hamilton Wright, Eliza Wright Census: 1800, Fairfield, Herkimer County, NY [2333]  Census: 1810, Fairfield, Herkimer County, NY [2328] Census: 1820, Fairfield, Herkimer County, NY [2318]  Census: 1830, Sandy Creek, Oswego County, NY [2301]  Died: E.After 1831
Census shows he was born between 1760 and 1769. Probably died before 1840. 1830 census shows his with William and Henry in Sandy Creek, but I think this Henry may actually be Harvey, since we know Jason was born in Sandy Creek in 1831, and no other Wright's are there in 1830. Harvey sold his land in Sandy Creek to Paul in 1836 for a dollar. I'm not absolutely certain that our Paul Wright is this one, the son of Josiah Wright of Saybrook, CT, but there is some suggestive evidence. First, the name (oddly uncommon at that time) and age match. Second, a family history of Josiah Wright indicates that his son Paul moved to Eastern NY and raised a large family. Third, there is a Josiah Wright in Sandy Creek in 1840, who is likely another son of our Paul Wright. Finally, DNA matches appear to confirm this relationship. |
