  Per the death certificate for Robert Wright, son of Thomas Wright & Nancy Jane Sine, it said that he was born in Sidney Tp., Hastings County, Ontario, in 1821, thus placing Thomas Wright & his family in this location at that time.
  Bonnie Cole kindly provided me with the following information regarding Rawdon Tp., Hastings County, Ontario- There was a Thomas Wright on the 1838 Assessment Roll. He was at Lot SE10, Concession 5, had 30 Acres of uncultivated and 20 acres of cultivated land. Thomas does not appear on the 1842 Assessment Roll but there is a Wright, Widow. Unfortunately it does not list the Concession or Lot. On the 1849 Assessment Roll there is a Nancy Wright, Widow at Concession 6, Lot W7, with 30 acres uncultivated and 20 cultivated. Although the Concession and lot differ between 1838 & 1849, I feel there is no doubt these are the same people. I appears that Thomas Wright died sometime between 1839 & 1842.

  Note: the 1851 Ontario Census for Rawdon Tp., Hastings County is missing for Ontario so this is unavailable. Nancy Wright was shown as a Widow on the 1861 Census. She was living with her son, Peter Wright, and his family.
  If Thomas Wright was buried in the Old Sine School Cemetery, located on the lot that Thomas Wright had lived on in 1838, we may never find his burial record according to the following write-up. This is now in someone's back yard & there is only a memorial stone left: "The SINES SCHOOL CEMETERY in Rawdon Twp unfortunately holds many mysteries for us. The cemetery was allowed to deteriorate and the headstones crumbled. Subsequently, the headstones were gathered up and now form part of a monument and sadly we have been unable to find any record of the original burials although Dr.Mack in his Mack and Sine families manuscript indicates that in 1922 his mother, father, brother Percy and himself visited the cemetery in 1922 and he recalls seeing marble headstones".
