There is conflicting information about her dates of birth and death in two sources that I found. She appears to have either died in 1812 at the age of 71 or 1832 at the age of 91. Also, there are different dates of birth in the two sources which are circa dates. The Wright family was essentially a Quaker family at this time so there would be no baptism records to find which could account for the confusion as to when she was born. A marriage date does exist on LDS Mormon records (20 Jan. 1758). At this time, brides in first time marriages were usually about 17 years old, so I would go with birth in about 1740 or 1741.

If I HAD to choose between death in 1812 or 1832 using the two sources, I would be forced to say 1812 at the age of 71. There may be other records somewhere to settle the matter but right now I don't have them.

ON JUNE 15TH, I OPENED AN EMAIL THAT MIGHT CLEAR UP THE MATTER. Linda Herman (490746761) says that Thomas Hunt was married twice and that HIS FIRST WIFE WAS MILLICENT WRIGHT who was the daughter of Abraham Wright and Hannah Raynor and that the children are from her. Linda further says that the second wife was Hannah Wright who was the daughter of Jonathan Wright.
