| TCB notes that "Owing presumably to the confusion of two persons each named James Wright being created Baronets in the same year, this creation is often omitted". TCB reports of this James that he was "His Majesty's President to the Republic of Venice, whose parentage is not known". TCB notes the report that, in 'Notes & Queries' (5th series, xii, 18), "Archbishop Moore's first wife was the sister of the late Sir James Wright, Bart., Resident at Venice". However, this presumably refers to John Moore (Archbishop of Canterbury 1783-1805) whose first, wife according to Wikipedia, was a daughter of Robert Wright, Chief Justice of South Carolina, whose son was the other James Wright who was created a Baronet in the same year as the following Sir James, thereby supporting the view that the 2 Sir Jameses have sometimes been confused with each oher. | |||||||||||||||
