   John Wrightsman's first wife's name is not known. Two documented children from the marriage are: Christina, born about 1764, and Peter, born about 1775. There are two other possible children, Phebe and Caty. A marriage record exists in Botetourt County for "Phebea Rightsman" and David Kesler, dated 21 Nov 1793. She would have been born no later than 1772 (based on her marriage record). Son Solomon, currently listed under the 2nd marriage, may actually be a child from the first marriage.
