Summary
"On the eastern bank of the Susquehanna River in southeastern Pennsylvania, ten miles west of Lancaster, Wright’s Ferry Mansion was built in 1738 for a remarkable English Quaker, Susanna Wright. In 1726, when Susanna was twenty-nine, she purchased one hundred acres in this region on the fringes of Pennsylvania wilderness, then inhabited by a small tribe of Indians and known as Shawanahtown-on-Susquehanna.Bright, unmarried, possibly using money from her dowry for the purchase of the land, this dynamic eighteenth-century lady was aware of the needs and potentials – not only political, agricultural and commercial, but also spiritual and intellectual – for the development of this area."
