• Information: 1666, Long Bennington, , Lincolnshire, England. Eleanor was the daughter<br />
of Thomas Wright and his wife, Mary Whitlock, both of Long Bennington. We could<br />
not prove her parents marriage; however, they were an immigrant family. Her father<br />
made multiple trips to Virginia before bringing his family to America in 1669. Thomas<br />
also held property in Maryland where he was living when his wife Mary and their only<br />
daughter, Eleanor, immigrated Her father died intestate Rappahannock County Virginia<br />
before 1680, and we could not prove the man her mother remarried. Eleanor had a<br />
much younger brother James born about the time her father died who married an<br />
Eleanor - all of their children were born and christened in Farnham Parish of Richmond<br />
County. So far as we could prove Eleanor's parents did not have a daughter named<br />
Mary.<br />
