Will of Wingfield Wright, Granville County Wills, 1749-1968, North Carolina State Archives, C.R. 044.801.42 (Wilson James D.-Young). Susannah Wright never married and died in Granville Co. in 1791. An inventory of her estate was returned by Hannah Wright as administratrix in Feb. 1792. Record of Susannah Wright Estate, Granville County Estate Records, 1746-1919, North Carolina State Archives, C.R.044.508.197 (Woody - Wynn). She was left a tract of land in Granville Co. in her father’s will. In a deed dated 22 Feb. 1786, Hannah Wright, admrx. of Susannah Wright, William Wright of Nash Co., John Wright of Halifax Co, and Benjamin Wright of Franklin Co, NC, all heirs of Susanna Wright, decd., sold to John Pope (Sr.) the land left to Susannah by their father. The land was part of a larger tract formerly owned Winfield Wright, decd. Granville Co. Deed Book N, p. 21. Augustine Wright of Wake Co, NC deeded to John Pope, Jr. of Granville Co part of a tract whereon Winfield Wright formerly lived and conveyed by will to Susanna Wright; said Augustine Wright was an heir of Thomas Wright, November 29, 1787.
Susannah Wright may have lived in Nash Co. On 31 March 1779, Susannah Wright of Nash Co. deeded 30 acres of land containing a plantation lying between Williams and Gum branches to Mark Mason. Arthur Arrington, Martha Arrington, Elizabeth Arrington, witnessed the deed, which was recorded in April Court 1779. Nash Co. Deed Book A, p, 59. For future research, the Arrington family was allied with the Wright and Culpepper families in Nash Co.
