     Henry Wright first appeared in Acc Co records in 1667. His name was given twice on 18 Mar of that year, when patents for land were granted to John Walter and to Miles Gray. Henry Wright was named as a headright for both of these men (Acc Co Orders, 1666-1670, p. 20). Apparently Henry Wright was unmarried in 1667, but married soon thereafter, for his name appears on Acc Co Tax lists for 1668, 1669 and 1670 (Acc Co Tithables, 1663-1697, pp. 6/7/9). On 24 Nov 1669, Henry Wright "aged about twenty foure years," gave a deposition in Acc Co Court (Acc Co Orders, 1666-70, p. 161) and, on 16 Dec 1669, "Ann ye wife of Henry Wright" appeared in Court on a charge, "the Sheriff to take ye said Ann into his cufody and yt she their remain until farther order" (Acc Co Orders, 1666-70, p. 166). Henry Wright had died intestate by 16 Aug 1671, for on that date there appeared another Court Order, "Whereas Ann Write hath peticoned to be discharged of her husbands Estate the Court hath Ordered that the Sheriff take possession.... of what he can find of the said Estate: delivering to the Widdow what doth.... belong to herself and her child and the remainder to answer the payments ofye just Credits as farr as itt goe" (Acc Co Orders, Wills &c., 1671-73, p. 17). These early records show that Henry Wright came to Acc Co circa 1667 at 22 years of age, married here by 1668, had an only child, and died by August 1671, circa 26 years of age. His wife was Ann Fowkes, sister to Thomas Fowkes, and she married (2) Roger Miles. This is shown by the will of Thomas Fowkes in 1673 (Acc Co Wills, 1673-76), p. 152), and by the nuncupative will of his widow, Amy Fowkes, in 1678 (Acc Co Wills & Deeds, 1676-90, p. 177). Amy Fowkes directed that her son and executor, William Anderson, raise 1000 pounds of tobacco "out of my estate to be laid out" for the best advantage of Mary Right, daughter of Ann Myles and of Henry Right, deceased. Thomas Fowkes had left "cousin" (meaning niece) Mary Ryte, daughter of his sister, Ann Miles, all his cattle and their increase that had been "formerly in the occupation" of Henry Ryte, deceased. He directed that William Anderson "take care and look after said cattle" until Mary's marriage or "attaining legal age." This was the same Thomas Fowkes, of Pungoteague, in whose tavern the first Acc Co courts had been held, and who purchased land in Parkers Neck from Richard Bundick in 1666, moving his family there circa 1671 (Whitelaw, p. 1132). William Anderson was a son of Amy Fowkes by a former marriage. He became the father of Naomi Anderson, who married Rev. Francis Makemie (The Wright Family of Acc Co, Mary Frances Carey). Henry was born circa 1645.¹ He married Ann Fowkes circa 1668 at Accomack Co, VA.² Henry was living on 24 November 1669 at Accomack Co, VA.¹ Henry died circa 1671 at Accomack Co, VA.³

     On 3 August 1680, William Anderson signed a certificate that "Mrs. Amy ffookes deceased, did by her last will and testament give unto Mary Right the daughter of Ann Myles and of Henry Right, deceased, the value of 1000 pounds of tobacco" (Wills & Deeds 1676 - 1690, p. 219). Anderson was here turning over to Roger Myles, Mary's step-father, the value of the tobacco in live stock. On 18 March 1693, Mary Wright bought 200 acres of land "in the wood between Gargaphia and Gilford", from Roger Miles and his wife Ann, for 1800 pounds "Tobacco and Cask" (Wills & Etc 1692-1715, part l, p. 88). Mary Wright had apparently sold her livestock inheritances and was here putting their value in land. On 5 October 1708 she was presented by the Grand Jury for having had a bastard child (Orders 1703 - l709, p. 123). When the Grand Jury summoned Mary Wright to appear in October 1708, her mother informed the Court she was ill and not able to come to court. Mary was born circa 1670 at Accomack Co, VA. She was the daughter of Henry Wright I and Ann Fowkes. Mary was named in her uncle's will on 10 September 1673 at Accomack Co, VA. She was shown as neafew Mary Ryle, daughter of Ann, now Ann Miels, formerly in the possession of Henry Ryle, not in the custody of John Smally, in the will of Thomas Fowkes, wife Amy. (NOTE: Ryle was evidently Right or Wright.).² She married Edward Wright circa 1695. No record of a marriage for Mary Wright has been found. That she had at least two sons, both Wrights, is proved by the land records. She could have married an Edward Wright, who was named as a servant by Amy Fowkes in her will of 1678.. She married William Wright circa 1706. Mary Wright could also have married a William Wright" who was named as a headright for Richard Bundick" when the latter patented 1400 acres in Parkers Neck in 1664 (Nugent I, p. 524).. Mary died circa 1710. Mary Wright likely died circa 1710, leaving 200 acres of land and three under aged sons..³

     Amy was born circa 1666 at Accomack Co, VA. She was the daughter of Robert Mason and Temperance Waddelowe. Amy was named as an heir on 10 September 1673 at Accomack Co, VA. She was shown as Amy, daughter of Robert & Temperance Mason in the will of Thomas Fowkes, who was her grandmother Amey's fourth husband..³ Amy was named in her father's will on 12 December 1677 at Accomack Co, VA. She was shown as a daughter Amey and given plantation containing 650 acres at Pungoteague on the seaside in the will of Robert Mason..⁴ Amy was named in her grandmother's will on 20 August 1678 at Accomack Co, VA. She was shown as Amy Mason, a daughter of Robert & Temperance Mason, in the will of Amy Fowkes..⁵ She married John Abbott Jr. circa 1684 at Accomack Co, VA.⁶ Amy died circa 1699. When her husband John Abbott died in 1709, his wife Elizabeth, was named to settle his estate and on 2 Nov 1709 in Acc Co Court, Elizabeth was shown to have children, but it was not clear if she was the mother of the orphans John and William Abbot..⁷
