Irma, I have a John WRIGHT married to Mary T. BLANKENSHIP in my master file but a bit earlier I think than the John Wright you mentioned here. (I think I must have somehow missed a post as I don't see where this ties in to a Blankenship?). Do you know who/where this John Wright fits in? Descendants of John Wright 1 John Wright . +Mary T Blankenship b: 1832 m: December 08, 1852 Mary was the daughter of John Buck and Millie (Thompson) Blankenship. Thanks, Kay

Really nice dig'n, Tammy!

Catherine, get well and come visit. I hope to get to visit Ala again soon. Maybe this summer. I have been to GA, TENN, and to Ala as far as Montgomery, but not north to Coosa and Shelby counties. Still hoping before I die. I think the internet is so wonderful, as we are able to connect with our lost cousins now that all of our people who knew each other are gone.
