    In his will, dated 26 Aug 1778 (see image 1987), David says he is of Monongohale [Monongalia] County. The earliest administration document (see image 1983) also refers to Monongalia County. A later administration document (see image 1986) refers to "David Wright late of Washington County Deceased". Monongalia County was formed in 1776, but appears to have been short-lived before "[a]ll or parts of 21 other counties, including three in Pennsylvania, were carved from it" (from a historic marker).

    The will mentions David's wife, but not by name, and 3 children: "Samuel My Eldest & Sarah the Second and David the younger".

    A bond regarding taking the inventory of the estate of "David Wright decd" is dated 16 Sep 1778 (see image 1983).
