Adam was born in Plymouth about 1645, and died in Plympton on 20 Sep 1724 in his 79th or 80th year (Plympton VR p. 534). He married (1st) before 1680 Sarah SOULE, daughter of John Soule and his first wife Rebecca SIMMONS, and granddaughter of Pilgrim George Soule of the MAYFLOWER. The settlement on 5 Mar 1707 of the estate of John Soule of Duxborough (Duxbury) mentions that Sarah had only one cow of her father in his lifetime, and that Adam Wright in behalf of his children which he had by the said Sarah, his wife deceased, was to receive money "And that the children of the said Sarah shall have the lot of the last division of upland in the sixteen shilling Purchase and the share of Cedar Swamp at Assonet Cedar Swamp" (MD 4:160-1). Sarah was living on 16 Mar 1690/1 when Richard Wright, Adam Wright his son, and Sarah wife of Adam acknowledge a deed (MD 11:244). George E Bowman proved that Adam and Sarah had six children, from a consideration of deeds disposing of the land they received from JohnSoule's estate (MD 11:246-7)

! Before 1699 Adam Wright married (2nd) Mehitable BARROW, daughter of Robert and Ruth (BONUM) BARROW. On 20 Jun 1717 Adam Wright of "Plimton" and Mehitable, his wife sold their part of the estate of "our Hond. Father Robert Barrow late of Plymth. deceasd." (MD 11:244-5). Mehitable was living on 28 Dec 1720, when she surrendered her dower rights, as wife of Adam Wright, to his gift of land in Plimton, dated 13 Dec 1709, to his son Isaac (Plymouth Co. LR 13:120).

! Adam Wright was called blacksmith of Plymouth in 1699 and 1701, when he was sued for debt (Plymouth [Co] CT Rec 1686-1859 ed. by David Thomas Konig [1978], hereafter Plym Ct Rec 1:230, 256). The will of Adam Wright of Plympton, dated 9 Apr 1723, probated 2 Nov 1724, names sons John Wright, Isaac Wright, Samuel Wright, and Moses Wright; grandchildren Joshua Pratt and Sarah his sister, children of daughter Esther Pratt; daughter Sarah Fuller, wife of Seth Fuller; sons James Wright and Nathan Wright; daughter Mary Gifford, wife of Jeremiah Gifford; daughter Rachel Barlow, wife of Ebenezer Barlow; and wife Mehitable Wright (MD 4:239-40). No record is found of the birth of any of Adam's children, nor of his marriages, so dates given are approximations. (Further information regarding Adam's family will be found in MD 11:242-7)
