I am struck by the spelling, 'Flew Ellen'. There was something similar in the will of Betty ("Betsey") (Holloway) Flewellen in Warren Co., Georgia in 1794, where the name was 'FluEllen'. See my message # 121, on this board. According to Flewellen genealogists, her husband was William Flewellen. For example at the Ancestry.com Flewellen board:

Flewellen family of Virginia:
Richard Flewellen appears in Charles City Co. Prince George County, Va. between 1714- 1728. His four sons were William, Richard Jr., Obediah John according to the accounty written by Dr. E. A. Flewellen in 1861. William Flewellen moved to Halifax Co., NC in 1763 died there in 1786. His will names his wife, Betsy, and children, James, Howell, William, Taylor, Alexander, Abner, Shadrack and Nancy. One son, Edward, died in childhood. Richard Flewellen Jr. also moved to Halifax Co., NC died there in 1797. His will names his children, Martha, Obadiah, Thomas Richard. John Flewellen, son of the original Richard, moved to Johnston Co., NC - he married Sarah Hobby. Obediah Flewellen, son of the original Richard Flewellen "moved west".

Wm Flewellen was the son of Abner Flewellen. I can give you 4 generations back and 7 generations of their descendents. Contact me at cecinaz@cs.-com. (I added the hyphen to the e-mail address, before 'com', so that web crawlers would not copy it.)

I really think it is William and Betsey's family you are looking for; it's just that I cannot see any connection to a Wright family.
