General Notes: Husband - John Wright

---

Some time before the formation of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, in 1787, John, Abraham, and William Wright, three brothers, settled in what later became Clay township. They had migrated from Baltimore County, Maryland.

After a residence of some years on the waters of the Three Springs Creek, he purchased from Samuel Lilly a tract of about three hundred acres lying on both sides of Trough Creek, between the Dean and Chilcott farms, which had been improved in 1773 or 1774 by Samuel Dean.
