Generation No. 1
Dobson Wriglesworth born 24 December 1765, Rothwell, Yorkshire, England; died, June 1865, Yorkshire, West Riding, England. He married Ann (maiden name unknown).
Notes for Dobson Wriglesworth:
Dobson married a woman named Ann. I do not believe her maiden name was Fearby as some have indicated. When
checking the dates of birth of the children for Ann Fearby and Dobson Wriglesworth, the dates do not match the two sons who came to Pennsylvania.
Most of Dobson's history has not been fully investigated to date, however it was important to include his basic information as the
patriarch of this branch of the Wriglesworth family.
