WRIGHT surname. James Wright born Jan. 4, 1774, possibly within 2 years. From Maryland, moved to Ohio 1830 Harrison Co. Bought military bounty land there. Children: Jacob born 1807, Elisabeth, Matilda b. c. 1810, William L., b. c. 1800, Thomas E., b. c. 1804, all in Maryland. Eliza seems to be the youngest. James had wife "Barbary" in Ohio. James died 1836, buried in Old Deersville Cemetery by Franklin and Nottingham towns, lived in Nottingham. I have pretty much eliminated all the James Wrights of Caroline County. Somerset Co. does not look promising, but Baltimore and Frederick does because of possible wives of Wm: Mary Scroggins. Thomas: Sarah Gardner. James: Mary Pecker. Is this the James b. c. 1775, son of Nathaniel Samuel Turbutt Wright and Ellen Nicholson, born c. 1730 of Queen Anne's Co., Nathaniel who moved to Baltimore to work as a lawyer?
