335 "The Douglas Register listed two John Wright marriages in Goochland County, Virginia where 1779 John Wright 1 of Prince Edward County resided until 1758. The first was of John Wright and Judith or Judah Easley on Lickinghole which would have occurred before February 1756. This marriage has been identified in the part of this work for John Wright as his marriage. The second marriage was of John Wright and Judith Barns, which would have occurred before 22 March 1759, the date of the birth of their son Benjamin. This second marriage may have been that of John Wright 2, the son of 1779 John Wright 1 of Prince Edward County, but further research will be required to establish that identification."
