I have just made an update adding 1,300 persons, 826 direct descendants. I have also set up a separate mailing list to notify people of updates for those who want to opt out of the lists. EMAIL me a request. If you are on the notify list and want off, please let me know. This web site encompasses 40,237 individuals out of a total database of 59,569 relatives. Direct descendants of Richard Wright, Sr. include 27,785. The rest are closely related. Major Surnames include Allen, Cauble Colglazier, Cooley, Gilstrap, Goss, Hazel, Hill, Hinds, Johnson, Marshall, Martin, Monical, Morgan, Moss, Mullenix, Naugle, Parrish, Purlee, Ratts, Voyles, Wingler, Wright and Zink. Most of these families emigrated to Edgar County, Illinois; Putnam & Washington Counties, Indiana; Greene County, Iowa; Kansas and Missouri. The latest update used the 1880 Census to verify and add Benjamin Wright's (Richard Wright, Sr.'s son) grand and great grandchildren. Other updates include adding descendants of the following among others: 1. Jacob Motsinger/Christina Tash 2. Joyce Ellen Wright/Smiley Silvey 3. William Moss/Sarah Copple 4.
