Excellent material....thank you for taking the time to post it.
Do you happen to know if any of these people also had ties to colonial Virginia ?
I have a Col Thomas Page b abt 1604 in England who died 10 Mar 1676 in Rappahannock VA. He had a son Thomas Page who married Alice Hearn in 1660 in Isle of Wight Co VA.
Then I have Capt John Wright of the Yorkshire, England line of Sheriffs who settled in Northumberland/Westmoreland Co VA.His father was Major Francis Wright who married Anne Washington.
I was contacted by someone with an interest in maritime history who is trying to connect my Captains Wright (VA militia) with some privateering mariners who evidently sailed with my Wm.Cooke line out of Bristol. The Wrights in your report sound like good suspects for him...but I don't know if they connect with my Yorkshire, England > Northumberland/Westmoreland Co VA Wrights.
What's your view ?
