-----------
From Maryland Historical Magazine, vol. XVI, Baltimore, 1921, p. 238:
"Between various fords on the Main Falls of Patapsco River and fords on the lower reaches of Gwinn's Falls there existed in the eighteenth century three main roads, which, because their origin is mysterious and not explained by any known records, may possibly have been survivors of earlier military roads or even of Indian paths.
"In November 1733, the court appointed Charles Wells overseer of the road 'from the lower wadeing place of the main falls of Potapsco to the second wadeing place of Gwinns Falls' and of the road 'from the lower fording place of Gwinns Falls to Moales Point.' The lowest ford on the Main Falls of Patapsco River was situated in the immediate neighborhood of Relay or Avalon, near the site of the old Hockley Forge."
[The site of the Hockley Forge is on Levering Avenue in Halethorpe.]

Was her father John Wright or Anthony Arnold? Was Anthony Arnold perhaps her first husband?

Research Notes: Husband - Ednyfed ap Aron, of Llangelynin, Talybont
From the book Reifsnyder-Gillam Ancestry, Edited by Thomas Allen Glenn at the request of Howard Reifsnyder, privately printed, Philadelphia, 1902, provided by http://books.google.com, pp. 39-41:
"IV. EDNYFED AP ARON, of the parish of Llangelynin, Talybont, became heir to a considerable portion of the lands formerly held by his ancestors in the above-named parish.
"He was one of the Bailiffs for the Comôt (or Hundred) of Talybont, and is mentioned 21 Richard II (1397) in a suit growing out of the unsettled conditions then existing in Wales.
"It has been stated that Ednyfed was in sympathy with Owen Glendower, and that, during a reverse in the fortunes of that Chieftain, he secretly entertained him in a cave on the seacoast near his own house, in the parish of Llangelynin. This was in the year 1405. The cave is sitll called 'Ogof Owain,' and is not far distant from the mansion of Llwyndu. There is, however, nothing to indicate that he openly joined the revolt, and his lands were certainly not forfeited. He was one of the heirs to the Wele Wyrion Llewelyn ap Tudor, i.e., the domicile of the grandchildren of Llewelyn ap Tudor (see supra), but it is doubtful if he was alive at the time the extent of 7 Henry V was made, and it seems certain that his children had, at that time (1419), acquired possession of his lands.
"He married Llowry, daughter of Ievan Lloyd Fychan ap Ievan ap Llewelyn ap Ievan Lloyd Fychan, of Pwll Dyfach, in Pembrokeshire, descended from Cadifor ap Dyfnwall, Lord of Castle Howell, in Caermarthenshire.
"Issue:
1. Howell ap Ednyfed ap Aron; of whom presently.
2. Griffith, ap Ednyfed, of Llanfedigald, in the parish of Llangelynin, Raglor of the Comôt of Talybont, 32 Henry VI (1453-4); he is also named as a Juror in several Inquisitions held in and for the County of Merioneth temp. Henry VI.
3. Llewelyn ap Ednyfed ap Aron, woodwarden for the Comôt of Estimaner, and living 31 Henry VI (1452-3); he is also named as a Juror in several Inquisitions held in and for the County of Merioneth, especially those held at Hartlech, 31 Henry VI.
4. Guttyn ap Ednyfed ap Aron; he was a Juror in an Inquisition held in and for the County of Merioneth, at Harlech, 31 Henry VI (1452) and in others."

History of Powys Fadog, Vol. 5, p. 102 has "Ednyfed ab Aron of Peniarth [same individual]. He concealed Owain Glyndyfrdwy in a cave by the sea-shore, in the parish of Llanegryn, still called Ogof Owain."
