Notes:

Richard Wright has been claimed to be the son of son of William Wright & Priscilla Carpenter, but this is almost certainly a bogus claim. He was born about 1608 per his age at the time of his death. William Wright came to Plymouth on the Fortune in 1621 as a single man, and was identified as such as late as 1627.

William left a will when he died in 1633 and mentioned his wife Priscilla, but no children.

Priscilla was baptized in 1598 suggesting a birth about then, which makes her far too young to be the mother of Richard Wright.

Richard Wright was married about 1644 to Hester Cooke in Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay, British Colonial America. She probably died before he did.

In his will he named his wife as Mary.

He died 9 June 1691 in Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay British Colonial America.

probably buried on Burial Hill, Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay British Colonial America.

The Cooke Family Association, which a Mayflower authorized family association identifies 6 children, which is the work Edward Bowman, a major force in Mayflower genealogy.
