Descendants of John Wright Generation No. 1 1. JOHN1 WRIGHT1 was born Abt. 1587 in Royston, Yorkshire, UK. He married MARGARET RATCLIFFE, daughter of RICHARD RATCLIFFE. Notes for MARGARET RATCLIFFE: Of Royston Child of JOHN WRIGHT and MARGARET RATCLIFFE is: 2. i. JAMES2 WRIGHT, b. 1615; d. 1700 Generation No. 2 2. JAMES2 WRIGHT (JOHN1) was born 1615, and died 1700. He married (1) JANE OWEN 1638. He married (2) MARY SLACKE1 16501, daughter of JOHN SLACKE. Notes for JAMES WRIGHT: Notes for JAMES WRIGHT: "Of Golagh & Carrachor Hall, Co. Monaghan" SOURCE: "Wright of Yorkshire and Monaghan" – a family tree at Gilford Castle. The Wrights of Gola (or Golagh) have registered in their name the arms of the Wrights of Wessex . The heraldic description is as follows: “Azure, two bars argent in chief three leopards heads, or, with crest a dexter arm, embowed, couped, in armor, habited azure, cuffed argent holding in hand a spear proper, broken of the last.” James was a Captain in Cromwell’s army and likely landed with the invasion in 1649. He was granted land, likely in lieu of pay and thereby acquired lands in Co. Monaghan including the Townland of Gola (Golagh, Gowlea) and also Carrachor Hall, Scottstown in the Parish of Tednavet. Quite how he acquired them, is less clear. In 1664, the lands were listed as belonging to Thomas Coote (a member of a pre-Comwellian English family in Ireland) and then purchsed by James on 1 July 1666. However this came about, these lands had been originally confiscated from Arthur MacMahon, the head of the Irish clan of that name. There is a story that when MacMAHON tried to reclaim his land in 1689 when James II was fighting to regain his crown with the backing of Roman Catholics in Ireland, that James WRIGHT & his neighbour John SLACK armed themselves and killed MacMAHON on the shores of Drumloo. These were dangerous and tumultuous times in Ireland. In 1689, James WRIGHT, gentlemen is listed amongst those English Protestants who was forced to forfeit his Irish lands when the Catholic James II set up a parliament in Dublin. Then, when James II was defeated at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 by William III, James Wright had his lands restored to him. In some cases, history, especially violent history, has a habit of repeating itself, and the perpetrators on all sides often care little about the guilt or innocence of those they set their sights on. Their passions run too hot for logic.So it was that on February 25th, 1921, members of the IRA burned Gola House to the ground. It was one of many such houses destroyed during the troubles. Apparently, Gola was singled because it was rumoured to have been used as a Military Barracks (I have no idea of the acuracy of this allegation). In the aftermath of the fire, the stone coat of arms was thrown down the well, then 85 feet deep, and 30 feet of rubble was thrown on top. In a strange twist on this centuries-old conflict over power, control and faith (and a twist in the tale that I am unsure how to interpret), the stones of the Gola were used to construct the present Roman Catholic Church.
When James was elderly, his second wife. Mary SLACKE prevailed upon him to disinherit his son William born to him and his first wife, Jane Owen in favour of her own son, Joseph.. History had the last laugh (if history can be said to laugh), in that Joseph’s son died in 1763 without an heir and Gola passed back to the line started by Jane OWEN in accordance with that son’s will. James
will was proved on November 21, 1700 SOURCE: Shirley p. 228 Notes for JANE OWEN: More About JAMES WRIGHT and JANE OWEN: Marriage: 1638 Jane OWEN’s family came from an ancient Welsh family from Mongomeryshire who settled in Co. Monaghan and Co. Meath. More About JAMES WRIGHT and MARY SLACKE: Marriage: 16501 Mary SLACK was the daughter of John Slacke of Slacke’s Grove, Co. Monaghan. Since there are many SLACKE families also in Royston, Yorkshire, it is possible that the WRIGHT-SLACKE family connections precede their time in Ireland. (NOTE: The children of Mary SLACK & James WRIGHT is the WRIGHT family line that leads to the WRIGHT family of Gilford Castle.) Child of JAMES WRIGHT and JANE OWEN is: i. WILLIAM3 WRIGHT, b. Abt. 1640; m. EMILY SCOTT. Notes for WILLIAM WRIGHT: Disinherited. SOURCE: "Wright of Yorkshire and Monaghan" Has two sons and one daughter. His death date in this source was given as 1817 which would be 120 years after his birth, therefore I have not entered it. In subsequent generations, his was the line that inherited Gola as a result of Isabella Wright marrying Capt. James Wood who assumed the name WRIGHT on his marriage - hence the clock in Tedavnet Parish. Children of JAMES WRIGHT and MARY SLACKE are: ii. JOSEPH3 WRIGHT1, b. 1652; d. 1731; m. MARY OWEN1, 1708. Notes for JOSEPH WRIGHT: Mary SLACKE & her son, Joseph built the large Jacobean house at Gola in 1703. More About JOSEPH WRIGHT and MARY OWEN: Marriage: 1708 3. iii. THOMAS WRIGHT, d. 1725. iv.

3. THOMAS3 WRIGHT (JAMES2, JOHN1)1 died 1725. He married ELINOR 1724. Notes for THOMAS WRIGHT: SOURCE: "Wright Family of Golagh" Drumloo was willed to this son as well as Carrachor Hall, Scotstown upon the death of his father James in 1700. An extract of this will can be seen in Dublin Government records. Drumloo is a townland of 137 acres, adjacent to Gola , in the Civil Parish of Clones, Co. Monaghan. Thomas died intestate & letters of administration were taken out by his wife, Eleanor & his eldest son, John.

The lands consisted of a corn mill and fifteen houses in the village of Ballinode together with a little over 72 acres of land. On June 1, 1906, Sarah Jane Wright bought the lands. At the time of this action, the son did not know where Annie JOHNSTON was living, John S.

He was member of the United Counties Club, Newry [see Burke’s for Coat of Arms]. Notes for DAVID JACKSON: A presentation Bowl with Chrysanthemum Design of the late 18th early 20th Century was presented to David Jackson by the Emperor Meiji in appreciation of his work in setting up the banking system in Japan. It was donated by his descendant, David Hugh Plunkett Brown to the Vancouver Museum. A photo of it can be seen on page 157 of "The Arts of Meiji Japan 1868-1912". Apparently a candelabra was also given to him, but the whereabouts of that is not known to us at this time. The chrysanthemum pattern is to signify long life. The presentation was to celebrate David Jackson receiving "The Order of the Rising Sun". SOURCE: "At the Ford of the Birches" p. 209 David Jackson apparently attended the Annaneese School (Presbyterian) "David Jackson, Bank Manager in Hong Kong" The school was 26' by 15' by 8' and was built of stone and lime construction with a slated roof. It was built "near McCooey's cross" and had been in existence from 1860. It is possible that it closed down in 1879 when David Ranson became principal of Church Street School. HSBC

for THOMPSON BROWN:.
worked at HSBC. SOURCE: HSBC Group Archives: Transcription of a news clipping saved in a diary at Gilford Castle. BROWN - August 28, 1942, at Killynure House, Armagh, Thompson, eldest son of the late Mr. & Mrs. Thompson Brown. Funeral strictly private. No flowers.( Story told by a neighbour, Eugene Fegan who was seven years old at the time, "Thompson Brown, he just dropped dead in the yard." On my most recent visit, I asked him about this again. "I seen him walk down the lane there, between the chestnut trees. Out walking, he were. And he just like that. Fell over. It made a big impression on me. A private funeral it was. Strange." This last comment would refer to the fact that there would be no following of the casket to the resting place as was the custom in the Catholic community (which Eugene and his family would have belonged to) Child of MARTHA WRIGHT and THOMPSON BROWN is: i. GEORGE AUSTIN THOMPSON10 BROWN, b. Abt. 1902; d. 26 August 1963, Stanhope, Victoria, Australia17. Notes for GEORGE AUSTIN THOMPSON BROWN: He was a farmer in Stanhope, Victoria, Australia. He died in 1963 leaving no will. It was at this point that our family discovered that there were 11 cousins on the Wright side. David Hugh Plunkett Brown (my father) subsequently got a letter from one of these cousins suggesting that since they had all benefited from the Estate of George Austin Jackson Brown (to the tune of $3,000 each) that a drinking fountain be set up in his memory. David wrote back saying that he had other things to do rather than a drinking fountain in Australia. His brother and sister found out about this afterwards (and were appalled at his response). 15. JAMES FRANCIS9 WRIGHT (ROBERT8, ROBERT7, JOHN6, ROBERT5, ROGER WILLIAM RICHARD4, THOMAS3, JAMES2, JOHN1) was born 17 November 187418, and died 22 April 1954 in The Castle, Gilford19. He married MARY MENARY 2 April 1902 in Cathedral Church, Victoria, Hong Kong, daughter of WILLIAM MENARY and MARY JACKSON. She was born 5 November 1872 in Maghery, Co. Armagh20, and died 29 August 1946. Notes
for JAMES FRANCIS WRIGHT: Was in Boer
War. Lived at Gilford Castle. Great
grandfather of Major Wright of Gilford Castle. Bought
Urker in 1935. In
1902 Stockbroker in Manilla, Phillipines (SOURCE: 1937 Affidavit) On his
son's baptism certificate, his profession is given as "merchant".
On
his marriage certificate, the witnesses were T. Jackson and R.T. Wright.
The place of residence of the groom was Ballinode, Macdonell Road and
the residence of the bride was No 2, St. John's Place. This
is most likely the WRIGHT associated with Hornby & Wright (or Wright
& Hornby - I forget) as the signature of a Hornby is on the loan to
Thompson Brown from James F Wright. Notes for MARY MENARY: 1906 letter from Mary Griffin to Sarah Whiteside: "I am in a little anxiety about Mollie and her care just now as there has been a terrible typhoon in Hong Kong and loss of life and I am sure she has been well frightened if not hurt" More About JAMES WRIGHT and MARY MENARY: Marriage: 2 April 1902, Cathedral Church, Victoria, Hong Kong Child of JAMES WRIGHT and MARY MENARY is: 16. i.
