27. Isaac6 Wright ('James5, 'James Thomas4, 'John3, 'Thomas2, 'Thomas1)38 was born May 25, 1723 in Chester Co., PA39,40, and died May 31, 1777 in Frederick Co., Virgina41. He married 'Sidney Rogers42 174043, daughter of 'John Rogers and 'Ellen Pugh. She was born 1729 in North Wales, Pennsylvania, and died Unknown44.
MEDI ElectronicResearch Notes: Hopewell MM, Virginia records of 1757 state that Isaac and his wife Sidney, along with four children, three sons aged seven, five, and five months and a daughter aged three, were attacked by Indians. Their house was left standing, but all of the live stock and most of their household goods were lost.
On 2-4-1764, Isaac Wright is "disowned", no reason is given.
On 4-8-1766, James Wright, s/o Isaac and Sidney Wright, is admitted to Membership in Hopewell MM.
On 1-4-1771, Sidney Wright "asks for her son Solomon".
From there on, no mention is made of Isaac in Quaker records.
From Court Order Book for Fredrick County, Virginia 4-4-1773: "Be it ordered that the church warders of Fredrick parish do bind Solomon Wright, s/o Isaac Wright, unto Abel Walker until he comes of age, who is to teach him to read and write and cypher and teach him the trade of a Cooper.
Mary Wright, d/o Isaac and Sidney, was bound out to Richard Ridgeway until she came of age. She was to be taught to read and write.
Fredrick County records show that Isaac's will was probated in 1777. His death was not reported by a member of his family. Fredrick County Will Book 4 pp. 368 and 369 "Inventory and appraisal of the estate of Isaac Wright, deceased, it being brought to our view by Jessee Faulkner Adm. this 31st day of the fifth month 1777", then follows a list of his belongings.
From these entries, one could assume that Isaac and Sidney had marital problems, Isaac was blamed and disowned. He moves out and takes Solomon with him. Sidney appeals to the church for custody of Solomon and gets it. By the family not reporting Isaac's death, complete alienation, is suggested.
Research Notes: Sidney moves back to Bucks County, Pennsylvania after her marriage to Isaac Pickering
