(Source: Debra Lynn Tucker Hopper- )There was a Elizabeth Sullivan living with George Wright and his wife Mary Polly Sullivan ... and I am assuming she was Mary's mother guessing from the ages. I HAVE LOST CONTACT WITH DEBRA LYNN TUCKER HOPPER AND CHERYL SULLIVAN HARTGROVE. THEIR CURRENT E-MAIL ADDRESS WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!! My Book, 'OUR WILKERSON FAMILY-FROM ENGLAND TO TEXAS ' is coming along and I still hope to be able to "go to press" by Jan 2005. I plan to include a section in the book on Allen, Frealy and Goodman Lines plus information about associated families, i.e, Sullivan, Wright, Kerns and others.
