Solomon WRIGHT. Rev. Soldier from Darlington Dist. SC actually married Delila GOODSON. This is per "The Diaries of Evan Pugh" [1763-1801], transcribed by Horace Fraser Rudisill, published by St. David's Society, Florence, SC 1993. The entry on page 241 for September 1784 reads, "Wd 22 at home poorly Married Solo' Wright to Delila Goodson". (Even Pugh, an early Baptist minister, had been feeling poorly for several days.) Mrs Espy's DAR application is also flawed as to the date / place of death of Solomon Wright. It states that he died in SC about 1815. In reality Solomon moved to GA about that time. He died in Henry Co. AL in 1838. When Solomon Wright sold his land in SC prior to his move to GA, his wife was identified as Delila Wright. All of Solomon's proven children were born after the marriage to Delila GOODSON. We have not identified her father but there were several GOODSON families in Darlington District SC. I have discover records that may have led to the incorrect guess as to a Reynolds marriage. I am working on correcting the DAR records by a detailed and documented draft of the life & children of Solomon Wright and Delila Goodson. Please note that several websites and books have flawed information as to the father of Solomon Wright.[One such "father" died a number of years before Solomon was born]. A possible father has been located but no proof found. If anyone has primary evidence of the father of Solomon, I would very much appreciate you passing the data on to me. If you would like copies of the INCOMPLETE draft, please e-mail me at wbehill@earthlink.net and send me your e-mail address and I will send the current version of the draft as an attachment.
