asserted by Charles
Hoppin.
In the case of Darnall v. Turberville, Prince William Land Causes, 1789-93/353, the deposition of John
Wright stated as
follows:
"The Deposition of Capt John Wright aged ninety years and upwards Deposed and sayeth that a red
oak the he is now at
that he the said Deponent has heard it called Colo. Corbins line for sixty years and upwards and he
bought land of Jeremiah
Darnall by this said line at Colo. Corbins and further saith not
John Wright
This day Capt. John Wright made oath in the presence of Jeremiah Darnall Pltf and George Turberville
Deft to the above
given under my hand this 2nd day of October 1790
Jo Blackwell"
This deposition was published by Sam Sparacio in Prince William County Land Causes 1789-1793.
Charles Hoppin listed 1792 John Wright's date of birth in one article as in 1707 and in another article as
in 1712, but neither
was supported by documented evidence. He simply made guesses as to the date of birth and, as the
deposition makes clear,
incorrect guesses.
