Hannah Wright
« on: Monday 21 May 12 15:16 BST (UK) »
Hannah is my 2xG.Grandmother born 17 Jan 1833 in Mileham, Norfolk, England
She sailed from Liverpool on the SS Servia & arrived in New York 18th April 1887. I can find no further information & would really appreciate some help.

Her Daughter Jesse sailed with her & she married Bion Rayon deMott & Frank Walker & lived in Nassau.

Her Son Tomson Garner Wright arrived the following year & also lived in Nassau until he died in 1908.

She does not appear to be with them on any censuses. Her surname was Eastoe for a while.

Are you referring to Nassau County, New York?

I did discover that some "Wrights" from Norfolk emigrated abt 1680 to Oyster Bay,Nassau County,New York & wonder if they were where Hannah & Jesse were headed.
 I understand they were not well off but they had a cabin (as did Thomson) & we thought there may be a possibility that relatives had paid for their passage.
 Alledgedly Hannah's husband was violent & she had to get away.

Do you have an obituary or place of burial for her son?  Those might give you clues about where she might be.

There's a plot at Greenfield Cemetry with eight people in it but nobody knows who they are.
I'm in contact with a descendant of Thomson & it is presumed he & his wife Lucy (Huvler) are in there (she died 1963) & at least four children died before her.

Just found the plot detail-its the parents & six children :(
