ONLY THAT MY GG-GF NATHAN WRIGHT LIVED IN THE EXTREME NORTHWEST CORNER OF TROUP CO., GA IN THE YEAR RANGE OF 1835 - 1854. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GLEEN FROM ONLINE SOURCES, THE ELDER LEWIS H. BENNETT LIVED THERE, TOO. HE DIED IN ABOUT 1851. GRANDPA NATHAN ALSO LIVED IN HEARD AND RANDOLPH COUNTIES IN THE SAME TIME FRAME. I FOUND REFERENCE TO THE FACT THAT NATHAN, ACTING AS AN ADMINISTRATOR, SOLD LAND BELONGING TO L. H. BENNETT'S ESTATE IN 1852. YOU CAN FIND SAME INFO BY GOING TO THE DIGITAL LAND DEEDS AT THE TROUP CO. ARCHIVES AND TYPING " NATHAN WRIGHT" IN THE SEARCH ENGINE. THEIR E-MAIL IS: WWW.TROUPARCHIVES.ORG SINCE NATHAN WAS NOT A LAWYER, I AM SPECULATING THAT THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOME CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WRIGHTS ( OR CHILDS ) AND BENNETTS OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THEY WERE NEIGHBORS. MY NATHAN WAS ALSO BORN IN SC. HE IS SHOWN IN THE 1850 TROUP CENSUS & 1840 HEARD CENSUS. IF YOU FIND ANY WRIGHTS OR CHILDS IN THIS LINE, PLEASE REPLY. ALSO, IF YOU CAN ESTABLISH WHAT AREA OF SC YOUR BENNETTS CAME FROM, WOULD BE A BIG HELP, TOO. THANKS ................... ROCKY
