Anne Pope Washington Wright (December 1, 1660 – September 26, 1697) daughter of Col. John Washington and Frances Gerrard Washington. Around 1682 she married Maj. Francis Wright (August 1, 1660, Northumberland Co, VA; died June 23, 1713, Westmoreland County, VA.) She died March 1697 at Great House Point, Westmoreland Co., VA.
The long intimate friendship between the Wrights and Washington's suffered a mutual loss in the death of Capt. Lawrence Washington in March 1698, whose will, naming his deceased sister Anne Pope Washington Wright and her husband Francis Wright, conveys an esteemed impression of the social and intellectual position and material independence of these allied families. The Washingtons at this time resided along Pope's and Mattox (Appomattox) creeks in the northern part of Westmoreland near where the national memorial to the family: Montross, Westmoreland County, Virginia Deeds & Wills No. 2 pg. 133, etc:
"Item I give and bequeath to my sister Anne Wright's children, one man Servant a piece of four or five years to serve or Three Thousand pounds of Tobacco to purchase the same, to be delivered or paid to them when they arrive to the age of twenty years old Item I give that land which I bought of my Brother Francis Wright, being 200 acres lying near Storke's Quarter, to my son John Washington (etc) 11th day of March 1697."
Anne Pope Washington Wright had died before the date of his will, March 11, 1697, hence no bequest to her, and hence the reference of the testator to being buried by the side of my Father and Mother & near my Brother and Sisters, in the family burying ground on the original Washington estate near Pope's Creek in Washington Parish, Westmoreland, where now stands the tall granite shaft erected by an act of Congress.
The death of Anne Pope Washington Wright, when aged under thirty-eight, is also established the deed of sale, executed by her only son John Wright and his father, of land she had inherited from her father Col. John Washington, viz: (Montross, Westmoreland county, Virginia. Book entitled Deeds & Wills No. 4 Page. 175).
