Hannah's signature was on a land agreement to sell land she and Wright, Sr.owned in Swanzey, Cheshire County, NH to Wright's half brother, William Wright of Swanzey. It did not appear on the final deed when it was finalized in 1787.

In the book, "Compendium of Early Mohawk Valley Families" by Maryly B. Penrose, C.G., A.S.I, Vol. 1 p. 81, it mentions under Births/Baptisms the following:

Births/Baptisms: Brown, Wright and Hannah (Nollin), Stillwater, Isaac, bapt. 1/18/1784.(JDR:16). Her birth, marriage, parents and siblings have not been found as yet.

Hannah's last name is still to be documented. It could be Newland, Kneeland, Knowland, Knowlton or Nolton. In a land document signed in 1791 in Swanzey, Wright sold land to Joshua Prime and an Ariel Newland witnessed the sale. This probably was a relative, if not a brother.
