My hope in posting my research on the Stephen Wrights was that someone would have the missing information on Stephen Wright of Littleton. Fellow Westford historian Dan Lacroix came through with Stephen's pension that tells us he did indeed run a tannery in Littleton for many years and briefly served in the Continental Army. In July 1780 he served in Col. Cyprian How’s Company for 3 months but did not apply for a pension until 1855. Since his name does not appear in Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailor of the Revolutionary War this has caused him to be confused with other men by the same name. Mystery solved and on to the next project!
