| Notes for Samuel Wright |
Moved to Northampton with his parents in 1656. Was wounded in the same Indian attack on Northfield that killed his father. The bullet remained lodged in his hip for the rest of his life (59 years), causing him considerable suffering.21
In 1676 he was among the 23 persons presented at the court in Northampton "for wearing silk in a flaunting manner and for long hair and other extravagances contrary to honest and sober order, and demeanor not becoming a wildernessstate, at least the profession of christianity and religion." Each was admonished and ordered to pay clerk's fees of 2s. 6d. each, and "so acquitted." People continued to ignor the so-called "sumptuary laws", and after 1678 nothing more is heard of them.21 |
