Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but may help:
Esther Becraft Wright (wife of Philbert) had a brother, Benjamin, who had a son named Benjamin, Benjamin (Jr).
According to Joy McDaniel, author of "The Wright Line" Elizabeth, daughter of Joseph and Rebecca (surname McDaniel?, indicating not a certainty that it was her true maiden name) -
"It is believed that the daughter of Joseph married William King and he was the Wheelwright that Joseph, Jr. was bound to in 1781.29 Jun 1780 William King m. Elizabeth Wright; Witt: John McDonald, Berni Davis, Richard Lawerence, Eli Wright, Hezikiah Dean, Mary Nichols (Lutheren Church in St Annes Parish, Anne Arundel County, MD.
According to the Frederick County Maryland Marriage Record, Elizabeth married William King on 29 Jun 1780 in Frederick County, Maryland."
According to this same book - these are the inheritors of Benjamin Becraft, Jr.'s estate:
"The Will of Benjamin Becraft (Jr), Montgomery County 1776-1825
Ann Purcrell (may be Purcell), daughter of Charlotte and Richard Nixon, late of Maryland
Jonathan Becraft, who lived with Testor at one time
Children of brother Peter Becraft by Mary, his present wife
Children of sister Leonoria (husband James Higgins)
Wit: Doctor Peter Becraft and James Higgins
No mention of this Elizabeth Becraft (Joseph's daughter) marrying Benjamin Becraft.
