George Parkhurst was born in Ipswich in England and all of his children by his first wife were baptized there. Sometime before 1642, he emigrated to New England, settling in Watertown, MA. It is not clear if his first wife accompanied him or whether she died in England. In any case, he married a Susanna Simpson in New England and had five more sons with her. In 1655, he petitioned the General Court of Massachusetts to sell a piece of land in his wife's estate in order that he might return to England to aid his wife who had already returned with their five youngest children. He claimed that his wife and children were destitute and that his age was 67 years at that time.

Richard Wright emigrated with the Winthrop Fleet in1630 from Stepney, England with three of his daughters and an older woman, perhaps his wife or mother. He was an employee of Col. Sir John Humphrey. He laid out Col. Humphrey's land grant in Saugus, MA, built a house on the Humprey estate and tended to his fields and livestock before the colonel came to New England. He was a captain of the militia in 1630 in Saugus.

In 1639, he purchased 600 acres of land at Mount Wollaston and operated at water mill there, for which he was granted a monopoly. He moved from Mt. Wollaston to the new town of Rehoboth in 1641 and was one of the founders of the town and one of the first selectmen (Bliss p. 23, 29). He was the richest man in town at that time with an estate valued at 834£ (Bliss p. 25). He also built and operated a mill there which was eventually taken over by his son-in- law William Sabin. After the United Colonies eventually decided that the town of Rehoboth was to come under the jurisdiction of Plymouth Colony, Richard moved from the town around early 1646 because of his disagreements with the Plymouth people. Later that year, he returned to England for a short time and settled after that in Boston.

In 1657, he accompanied a sheriff of Massachusetts Bay to Providence to arrest a person there. While transporting their prisoner, he was confronted by several other Cary ancestors who disagreed with the action. He was stopped by Benjamin Hearnden and served with a warrant from Arthur Fenner. Several hours later Thomas Angell, acting as constable took possession of the prisoner from Wright at the tavern of Roger Mowry, In total probably five Cary ancestors were involved in this particular confrontation. Wright returned to Massachusetts without his prisoner.
