    'John Wright of Kelvedon Hall, married Joane ----- died Oct. 10th, 1563.'
    From the will of John Wright (his father): 'To my eldest son John Wright ...' and '[Son] John the elder'

  2. Birth year estimated based on estimated birth year of his brother Middle John (see notes in the record of his parents' marriage). The Ancestral File gives a christening date of 14 Mar 1510 and place of Kelvedon Hall (which was not built until about 1538) - this information is undoubtedly a fabrication.
