Notes:

Captain Samuel Wright was prominent among the early settlers of Rutland, Worcester County, Massachusetts. He held the offices of selectman, assessor, clerk of the town and moderator of the meetings for many years, justice of the peace, deacon of the church, captain of the militia and surveyor and committee in dividing the lands of six miles square and recording the same in the proprietors' book, which he did in a very plain and legible hand. Many of the bounds and corners made more than one hundred and fifty years could still be found. Capt. Wright kept a tavern in front of the first meeting-house, on the opposite side of the street, where much of the first business of the town was done. (The old records show that the town would frequently during the session of its town-meeting vote to "adjourn for fifteen minutes," which was quite suggestive.) This house was taken down or removed before the Revolution.
