Hello Priscilla, I printed a copy of your post to take to the PCFR meeting next week. Not all of our members are online. Maybe someone there might be able to check your Josiah Wright's tombstone for you. Thank you for offering a copy of your book Wright Family Genealogy and Allied Families to PCFR. Generous researchers like you are helping us build a wonderful collection of local history and genealogy resources at Sheppard Memorial Library. The address for PCFR is: The Pitt County Family Researchers, Inc. P.O. Box 20339 Greenville, NC 27858-0339 Thanks again, Brenda ----- Original Message ----- From: "Priscilla" <pwh@nconnect.net> To: <NC-PCFR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 3:19 PM Subject: [NC-PCFR] Josiah Wright Tombstone > Hello there! > > Back in June I asked if there was anyone down there in Pitt County who > could do a huge favor for me.
