    2. Residents and Associated Families of Wrightsborough Early Wrightsboro Township Landholders, Residents and Associated Families, 1768-1810 (Note: Does not include those known to have died in childhood or children born to Wrightsboro residents after the family left Wrightsboro.) This index is made up of names taken from various sources, the main ones being Hinshaw's American Quaker Genealogy, Vol. 5 and "The Story of Wrightsboro, 1768-1964", as well as much information provided by descendants of some of the families. Many of my own ancestors, who I knew to have been associated with the Wrightsboro Monthly Meeting, were not listed in the main sources or were only briefly mentioned and although I have added their names to the list I'm sure there are many more I have missed. Many records have been lost, and many Quaker families spent considerable time 'out of unity' during these troubled times, when attacks by Indians and marauders, and the sanctions for refusal of conscription into the Continental Army during the Revolution forced many into a more militant attitude than could be accepted by the Meeting. During these periods the families will not have been recorded in the minutes of the Meeting. In addition I am convinced that there was at least one and probably more weekly meetings whose minutes do not appear in the records of the Wrightsboro Monthly Meeting. A great many of the Quaker settlers lived too far from Wrightsboro to have easily travelled there each Sunday, and these people in all likelihood formed local meetings. If you have relatives or ancestors connected with the Wrightsboro Colony who are not on this list or have any corrections to make please let me know!
