(2) Mary Wright, (born 1777, Laurens Co.?; died after 1860, Calhoun Co., AL); m. Terrell ANDREWS, Sr. (3) David Wright, (born 1782 (1791?), Laurens Co., SC; died 16 Aug (11 Aug?) 1867, > Calhoun Co., AL); m. Rebecca ANDREWS. David and Rebecca reportedly had six > sons and four daughters. Their proven children were: (1)George M. Wright, born 1810 in Laurens Co., SC, married Nancy MCCLURKIN, 1835 in Talladega Co., AL. George died 1890 in Talledega Co., AL. (2) Martha J. Wright, born 1828, Laurens Co., SC, married Eli BURDEN (Borden), 1845 in Benton Co., AL. Martha died, 1909 in Limestone Co., TX. Other likely children of David and Rebecca were: John A. Wright, born 1821, SC, married Hannah JOHNSTON, 1846 in Benton Co., AL. John died before 1870 in Etowah Co., AL; Joseph Wright, born 1823, SC, married, first, Margaret JOHNSTON, second, Elizabeth NUNNELEY; David A. Wright, b. 1825, Laurens Co., SC, married Susanna TEAGUE, 1845, Benton Co., AL, died 1904, Calhoun Co., AL; Rev. James C.

Criswell in Talledega Co., AL; Mary Jane Wright, m. 1840, George W. PHILLIPS in Talledega Co., AL. Other known surnames linked to the Wrights of Benton, Talladega and Calhoun Cos., AL, were BURDEN (Borden, Berden) and WHEELER. (4) James M. (D?) Wright , (born about 1783, Laurens Co., SC; died 9 May 1873, Choctaw Co., AL); married (1) Nancy CLARDY, born 1789, Laurens Co., SC; died after 1860, Choctaw Co., AL; dau. of James C. CLARDY, Sr. and Sarah HALL. James married (2) 1871, Choctaw Co., AL, Susan E. BAIN ;(Susan's daughter, Cora Ellen BAIN, married Jesse Caper Wright, youngest son of Jesse Austin Wright and his second wife, Susan M. YOUNG [below.]) (5) Joseph Wright, ( born 1788, Laurens Co., SC; died 22 Aug 1853, Tuscaloosa Co., AL); married 19 Dec 1812, Rebecca ANDERS (who died 10 Dec 1874, Tuscaloosa Co., AL.) (6,7,8) Unidentified daughters James M. Wright is recorded as living in Fayette County, AL, in 1832, when his land grant in the Choctaw Indian Cession of 1832 was recorded in the Tuscaloosa Land Record Office. Another grant in 1836 was recorded to a Henry Wright, possibly the cousin of James. Apparently, at the same time that James M. Wright was in Fayette Co., AL, a James D. Wright was recorded in Tuscaloosa County, AL. Whether James M. WRIGHT and James D. WRIGHT are the same person or two different people cannot at this time be assessed, as siblings of James emmigrated to that Alabama county. James Wright filed a pension application as a Veteran of the War of 1812. At the time his second son was born, the only child born in TN, James had been discharged at Hazel Green, AL. It is believed that his wife, Nancy, during the time of her husband's military service, was perhaps staying with a John CLARDY whose residence just over the TN line was recorded at that time. The relationship between Nancy Clardy Wright and John CLARDY is unclear; he is not her brother, nor is he a recorded son of Michael CLARDY. Yet, apparently, James and Nancy named their second son after this man. The parents of Nancy CLARDY, James CLARDY, Sr., and Sarah Hall CLARDY died, respectively, 1841, and after 1850, in Laurens County, SC. James CLARDY, Sr., named his daughter, Nancy Wright, in his will dated 1830, proved 1846; other children named of James CLARDY and wife, Sarah, named in the will along with their mother, were: Jesse E. Clardy, James Clardy, Michael Clardy, heirs of deceased William Clardy, and other daughter, Suky Tierce. James CLARDY(Senior) was the son of Michael and Judith CLARDY of VA; Michael CLARDY lived in Amelia Co., Virginia, and died in Halifax Co., Virginia. The children of James M. Wright and Nancy Clardy were: (1) Jesse Austin Wright, born 13 Jan 1812, Laurens County, SC (2) John Clardy Wright, born 1816, TN; married Emily (Crockett?) (3) David W. Wright, born 1818, AL; died Choctaw County, AL; married Rebecca GUINN, daughter of Henry GUINN & Mary Ann FITZGERALD (sister of Elizabeth, below.) (4) William H.

Wright, born 1835, AL; married Rebecca Jane GUINN, daughter of Wesley GUINN and his second wife, Jane BLYTHE (and granddaughter of Henry GUINN and Mary Ann FITZGERALD.) (3) Susan Wright (though listed this way in the Bible record, her descendants have her name as Maryann Susan Wright; for some reason, almost all my ancestors seem to have been known by their middle names.) Susan was born in 1837, Choctaw Co., AL; married Robert Andrew RAY, son of Elijah RAY and Nancy Ann MARTIN. This is my Wright ancestor. (4) Martha Ann Wright, born 1839, AL; married ----- STAFFORD.

Wright married a second time in 1860 to Susan M. YOUNG. They had the following children, also recorded in the family Bible: (11) Jefferson Davis Wright, born 1861, AL; married unknown (12) Clarissa Ursula Wright, born 1862, AL; married Thomas Jefferson CAMPBELL (13) Nancy Lillian Wright, born 1865, AL; married Albert F.

Also listed in this bible record are two names whose relationship I am unsure of: Molly Caroline CRUMBLEY, died 1903 (possibly Mary Caroline Wright above?); Maude Rivers SUMRALL, died 1919 In the Choctaw Co., AL, Inventory Book H, pages 1-8 appears the following court document: 20 Feb 1909: Susan M. Wright, widow, petitioner, states that Jessie A. Wright died 27 March 1887, intestate. She stated they were married in 1860 and that she was currently living in Tunnells, Mississippi. She listed the only child of Wesley GUINN and his first wife, Lovenia PRICE, and the eldest grandson of Henry GUINN and Mary Ann FITZGERALD of Madison Co., AL. Mary Susanna Wright was, I believe, the daughter of either Silas A.Wright and Mary Jane RAYor the daughter of David W. Wright and Rebecca GUINN. I am still trying to verify her parents.) Floyd died, 1940 in Mobile, AL. (4) George Smith Ray, born 1868, Choctaw Co., AL;married Mary Susan GUINN, dau. of Frank GUINN and Mary Susanna Wright, and sister of Sallie (above.) George S. and Mary S. Guinn Ray were my maternal great- grandparents. George Ray died 1964, Saraland, Mobile Co., AL. Mary S. G. Ray died 1952, Saraland, AL. (5) Laura Estelle Ray, born 1872, Choctaw Co., AL; married James Buchanan Thompson. Laura died 1958 in Ensley, AL. (6) Robert Hosea Ray, born 1877, Clarke Co., MS; married Estelle Hanson. Robert died 1898 in Montrose, AL. (7) Vaughn Vegaria (Vaqara?) Ray, born 1881, Choctaw Co., AL; married Margaret "Maggie" BRYANT. Vaughn died 1904 in Clarke Co., MS. They had one child, Viola Ray. Several of the Wrights & Rays in these lines had the middle name "Smith", the origin of which is unknown. Also, it should be noted that several descendants are investigating a possible link between the Wray/Ray, Borden (Burden), Wheeler, and Echkols (Echols) lines of Bedford Co., Franklin Co., and Amherst Co., VA. Possibly one of these counties is the birthplace of the patriarch, Joseph Wright. I am looking for the ancestor of Joseph, his wife's maiden name, and descendants of all of these Wright families. I must have a lot more cousins out there. Pam > pamstone@digital.net If you see a connection, please contact: SusanS373@aol.com Wright Family I.

From hsss01b@prodigy.com If you see a connection, please contact: HSSS01B@prodigy.com (MR ROBERT K WRIGHT) Here's the final edition of the family tree that started in New England: PART II OF WRIGHT GENEALOGY FROM : ”The Wright Family,” by George William Wright, 1929.

David, b. 1814 7. Mary, b. 1816 7. Amos, b. 1818 7. Miriam, d. at 12 years. 7. Delia, b. 1825 Note 1: Gideon And Hezekiah moved to PA, then to Augusta County, VA, and finally to Rowan County, NC. Surry County was created out of Rowan , and Gideon’s land became part of Surry County. Gideon was a Captain, and Hezekiah was a Lieutenant in the Kings Army. At this point, it becomes very difficult to sort out the family tree. The following is extracted from the book: Gideon WRIGHT , son of Hezekiah, and Grandson of Hezekiah and Delia Lee Wright, (b. 1869), m. 1897 to Inez A. TAYLOR. His father, Hezekiah, was born in Randolph County, MO in 1843, m. in 1863 to Anna VANTINE, children: James, Gideon, Charley, Lucy, Rosie, Susie, and Marvin. Gideon and Inez had: Verner, b. 1899; James, b. 1901; Mary, b. 1904; Loran; b. 1907; Mae, b. 1909; Eunice, b. 1911; Basil, b. 1913; Carl, b. 1915;Estel, b. 1917; Audrey, b. 1919; Jemel, b. 1922 Perhaps someone out there can sort out where these last two fit in the family tree. From: Mark Subject: Hezekiah Wright m. Deliah Lee Date: Fri, 19 Dec 97 23:12:17 +0000 I noticed on the Wright Tidbits page that you have an FGS with these folks. I have a copy of a will from Deliah (Delilah)'s father, Richard: "Deed of Partition Land of Richard Lee Madison County, Kentucky 1 September 1845 "This Indenture made and entered into this 1st day of September 1845, by and between Ebenezer Titus and Dorothy his wife, late Dorothy Lee, James Stephenson and Polly his wife, late Polly Lee, Thomas McGuire and his wife, late Ann Lee, Sally West, late Sally Lee, Richard Lee, David Lee, Thomas Lee, Grisham Lee, Hezekiah W. Wright and Delila his wife, late Delila Lee..." Robt. E. Lee's father was Henry Lee. His father was also Henry Lee. Robt had an uncle Richard Bland Lee, but he died in 1827. Do you have a source for Delila's relationship to Bobby E? I'd love to see that tie.

Lovigia "Vig" CLARK; Father: Charles G. Clark; Mother: Caroline Handley 2 Ellen WRIGHT The document from which the MO Wrights came is entitled 'Amos Fristoe of Stafford Co, Virginia and Pettis County, Missouri and his ancestors and descendants with Allied Families' compiled and published in 1968 by Carrie Jenkins Alexander, Route 2, Malta Bend, MO, 65339. If you see a connection, please contact: Jim Fristoe jfristoe@augusta.net I am not researching the WRIGHT name (at least not yet..you never know who may eventually turn up in your family :-)), but while researching my various families who migrated to Montgomery Co., IL from other areas, I came across a series of articles with a wealth of information for not only me but probably many others. I pass this info on as often as possible when I see queries for some of these surnames on the lists. The WRIGHT information is from: Walter R. Sanders, "Settlers in Montgomery County, Illinois Before 1840", NGSQ , Vols. XXXIX-XL (Spring, 1951-Fall, 1952), p. 13. LDS #0001288 This is a long alphabetical list of names, many with birthdates, and the areas they were in BEFORE coming to Montgomery Co., IL. Any with an * means they were found AFTER Montgomery Co. in another county (possibly adjoining). Charles WRIGHT (b. 1791 NC) Henry WRIGHT (b. 1793; d. Aug 14, 1843) Nathaniel WRIGHT (b. 1808, MA) Joseph WRIGHT (b. Apr 20, 1783 SC; to Warren Co., KY) W. W. WRIGHT (b. Concord, MA) John WRIGHT Margaret WRIGHT James WRIGHT Joel WRIGHT (b. Oct 10, 1792, Hanover, NH; moved to Boston) Mr. and Mrs. Sanders were apparently both professional genealogists, residing in Litchfield, Montgomery Co., IL, and he was head of the Social Science Department at Litchfield High School (at least at the time of printing of these articles). They did extensive research on Montgomery Co. (probably where many of their ancestors settled) and I have run across several publications written by him which have been most helpful. I do not know if either are still living. Hope this may help someone find a missing WRIGHT.

Dan's wife Mary supposedly came from TX and had a sister Nancy. While residing in MO, Dan was employed as a miner. Before settling in Humboldt, NE., Dan and Mary homesteaded in S. Dak. I just learned this weekend from an older relative that my Wm. (KRONK) WRIGHT may have been an indentured person. He apparently ran away from his owner and changed the name to WRIGHT to prevent detection. Maybe these little bits will help someone recognize this as their family also.
