General Notes: Husband - Aaron Wright


He came in 1795 or earlier from York County, Pennsylvania, and settled in Crawford County on a tract just west of Calvin's Corners. He was a Revolutionary soldier and came out first alone and prepared a habitation for his family, whom he brought soon after.

He removed from York County, Pennsylvania, to Venango County, at the mouth of Big Sugar creek, in 1792. He came to Crawford County, settling near Shermansville in 1794, and died in Fairfield township in 1816. He was a lieutenant in the Continental army during the Revolution, resigning his commission in order to become a sharpshooter or scout. His diary is to be found in the Pension Office at Washington, District of Columbia. While the Indian troubles were in progress his wife went for safety to the fort at Franklin.
