SPECIAL NOTE:
1. The following is a descending history of the Kelvedon Wrights Compiled By: Albert Nye. Albert begins his history with the grandfather of the Reverent Henry Wright, and lists him as "Father".
2. Within this file there are a number of dates that are different from our records, but we believe the difference is due to the change in dating from the "old" to the "new" dates.
3. We have also linked a few additional descending lines to this page. The links will be made through "Family #'s begining with the letter "A", "B", etc. For an example one child will be continued on "Family #20" and if we link the next child (that is not listed here), he will be linked as "Family #20A".
