Arrived VA 1655 & returned to England almost two years later, describing himself in a agreement with Mr. Hugh Lee of Virginia as "Richard Wright of London, Merchant, being homeward bound (that is to England) Northumberland County Record Book, 1652-1658 pg. 145; Tyler's Quarterly I, pb. 127." He returned to Virginia, and in 1657, became administrator of Col. John Mottrom's estate. The numerous references to Richard Wright, Gent; in the Northumberland and Westmoreland Records, indicate that he was a man of much influence and character. In 1661 with his brother-in-law , Col. Nicholas Spencer, he obtained a patent to 1100 acres of land at Piscattaway, on the Potomac, a part of which later was acquired by the Washington's, embracing the site of the present famous Mt. Vernon. In 1658 he secured a patent to 2200 acres upon the Potomac, between Lower Machodoc River and Nomini Bay, upon which his son, Francis Wright, settled. Richard Wright died in Chicacoan (called ÒCOANÓ for short) between Aug. 16 and Dec. 16, 1663, being the dates of the making and proof of his will. His will thus dated and proved appears in a much mutilated form in a Record Book in Northumberland County; WILL OF RICHARD WRIGHT (Abstract). He gives to his wife Anne one half of his land at Machodoc and Potomac Rivers---"that is the half that joins my brother Spencer (Nicholas Spencer, Esq., who married Frances Mottrom), with reversions at her death to his son Francis Wright; to wife two negroes named. All of the English servants, negroes not otherwise bequeathed and rest of personal estate in Virginia and Maryland to be divided into three equal parts, of which wife is to have one part and his three children the other two parts. To his son Mottrom Wright all his land on Elk Run, Md. To my --------land lying---------Francis -------for discharging education all my money in England. To daughter-------land in the -----of the Potomac. To my brother--------land at --------To my brother Nicholas Spencer, and my sister Mrs. Frances Spencer and Brother John Mottrom, each a rug. Brothers Spencer and Mottrom overseers. Cousin Matthew Merriton of London (merchant?) Overseer in England. The inventory of the personal estate of Mr. Richard Wright recorded March 10, 1663-43 was appraised at 23,334 lbs. tobacco. The widow of Richard Wright, Anne Mottrom Wright, married 2dly, David Fox, father of Hannah Fox, who married Anne's brother John Mottrom, Jr. After Fox's death in 1669 Anne married 3rdly, Col. St. Leger Codd, who died in Cecil County, Maryland, leaving according to his will, proved in Lancaster County, Virginia, April 8, 1708 sons James, Berkeley, St. Legar, and daughter Beatrice and Mary Paddison , (William and Mary Quarterly XVII, pg. 55). Issue of Richard Wright and Anne Mottrom, his wife, named in the will above, Mottrom, Francis, who married Anne Washington, Anne who married George Nicholas Hacke.
