    Joseph Wright ye Son of Joseph Wright & Rebeckah his wife was Born February 12 1755
    [Note, this date is almost exactly 9 months before the birth of brother Aaron, which makes one wonder if the year is correct?]

    Joseph Wright Son of Joseph & Rebecca Wright & Husband to Mary his wife Died Decem 31 1756.
    [Note: sic! Clearly if Joseph died in the year given, he was age 1, and not old enough to marry. However, evidence is that he did marry in 1776 and had a daughter in 1777 before his wife remarried in 1783. It is barely possible that he died 31 Dec 1776, based on his daughter's birth, which may account for a misreading of 1756? In any event, it appears the year is completely wrong.]
