Emmigration 1634 aboard ship "Susan & Ellen"
Thomas was initially in Massachusetts and was then one of the first settlers in Wethersfield, Hartford county, Connecticut about 1639. (Note - The first settlement was wiped out by Indians in 1637, which killed Hugh Hillard, the first husband of Margaret (Elson) Hillard). A 3-acre homelot was recorded to him in Wethersfield on the 11th day of the 12th month in 1640.
After his wife, Mary, died about 1636 (probably in Massachusetts) Thomas married Margaret Butler by whom he probably had his son Joseph. After Mary died about 1641, Thomas married widow Margaret (Elson) Hillard. They had no hildren together but she had children from her first marriage to Hugh Hilliard and her will mentions her Hilliard grandchildren.
Thomas Wright bought a lot of land and would eventually have his own island, called "Wright Island" in the middle of the Connecticut River. The Indians called it Mannahannock ("Great Laughing Place"). A part of this island was still owned by the family in 1900. It would later be eroded away, though, and does not exist today.
Thomas Wright was a deputy to the General Court of Connecticut in 1643; served as a selectman in 1658; and was a commissioner on town-lines. His earmark for cattle was duly recorded and a fence tax recorded in 1647. He was made a freeman on May 11, 1654, and his name is in the 1659 list as a freeman at Wethersfield. He also was a constable and sat on juries in 1643, 1665, and 1666. Thomas Wright's name was also included in a 1642 list from Guilford, New Haven county, Connecticut for the assessment of the inhabitants of that town.
In his 1670 will, Thomas Wright Sr. gave his wife, Margaret, all the meat and drink in his house and, "all the linen that I have in my possession that was of her own spinning." (Stories of Wethersfield page 29)
