…Wrights of Nansemond
I have a few observations on these folks in Nansemond….
I have confronted these boys before and have come back from the fight bruised and mangled…
That Wm. above with 2250 acres in 1662… I have him in 2 places and cannot decide… put zero stock on where I have him placed…
The others near William Sanders, Dumpling Island and that area east of the Nansemond River I have confidence I have them placed very close (I need to fill in the surrounding neighbors to whittle it down.
=========================================================
…that being said…
I agree with you that there ‘may’ …I think it highly likely, be a different William Wright in Isle of Wight…
These situations are tough where you have the same surname just across a county boundary. To be honest, I do not have my focus on this Wm. Wright in IOW other than to mix him in with my broader map… he is a piece of the puzzle right now…
…click the blue filename under the graphic for a better view…
Note carefully the John Herring mentioned in the notes… I think the creek he is near (if I can swing that little bit of research magic) was named after him… that being “Herring Creek or branch”…
Wright was on Herring Creek…
stay tuned…
