| Biography* | | He was one of the five sons of Henry Wright and Rachel Pettit Wright. His father died in 1793, leaving him, by survey, 20 acres of land Henry's grandmother, Mary Wright had bought in 1693. Thomas was to receive 5 additional acres at the death of his uncle William, land that Henry had leased to William in 1784 for William's "natural life". As has been shown, Thomas Wright bought the shares of his brothers and two sisters between 1800 and 1831. The share he bought from sister Hessey in 1800, he and wife Rebecca sold to brother Edmund Wright on 15 April 1803 (DC Deeds 1800 - 1806, p. 260), the same day he purchased Edmund's share. On 16 February 1804, Edmund Wright "(son of Henry)" sold Hessey's 23 acres to Kendall Colony (p. 309). Thomas Wright bought 8 acres from Kendall and Tabitha Colony on 18 January 1808 (Deeds 1801 - 1810 p.41) . On 31 December 1836, Thomas Wright, Senr bought 26 acres from Colmer C. Hinman and wife Lovey H. for $400, land near Metompkin, bordered "northwest by lands of aforesaid Thomas Wright, Senr" (Deeds 1835 - 1837, p. 526). On 13 January 1835, George P.

He left part of a daughter Sally's inheritance to a granddaughter, Pamelia Hickman.12 |
| Anecdote* | | It is assumed that William P. Davis moved his family to the White Hall land after buying it in late 1870, and was living there when he died. He is probably buried on this farm. The 1880 census shows his oldest son, James T. Davis, living there (between Greenbackville and Horntown households) as head of household #176, with wife Susan, mother Sally, and brother George.3 |
| Death* | before 31 March 1873 | He died before 31 March 1873 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that administration on the estate of William P. Davis was granted to Solomon T. Johnson with John S. Johnson & William J. Johnson securities on a $1,200 bond. At the same time it was ordered that William J.H. Wallop, John T. Dunbow, Samuel Townsend, Thomas B.C. Gibb, or any 3 of them, appraise the personal estate of William P. Davis. As part of the settlement of the estate, Abel T. Johnson, special commissioner, sold the 100 acre Whealton-Evans property at public auction, in front of Thomas Pettit's Hotel at Horntown, on 30 Oct 1876, to James H. Pettit for $406.13 |
