Nancy, I think Penny must have fallen asleep at her computer, but we have the same Wrights so I'll answer your question. Our Wrights were from the Brumley area, and as far as we know, not related to the Tuscumbia bunch, which is kind of a shame considering there is a lot more info on them..:) We know very little about them. They first showed up on the 1850 Miller Co. census. William B., wife Sarah, and William's mother, Margaret. The 1840 census shows a Richard Wright who could be the father, but who knows? William says he's from Illinois. His wife Sarah we believe was a Hays/Haze who was the stepdaughter of John Carlton. I was told by one of the "oldtimers" years ago, that William was called "Frenchy," and he made moonshine. That's about it! Peg Were your Wrights from the Brumley area. Did they have any ties to the Wrights from Tuscumbia/Eldon area? Nancy T

Peg, I don't want to lead you on a wild goose chase but there were lots of Wrights in Dade County MO and they are connected to my Downings and Wests in Miller County, and all three of these families were in IL. The Wrights married into my lines so I don't have enough of their family to help you but thought I would suggest that you check around Greenfield. Dade County has a list as well and were helpful to me.
