I would like to 2nd the Thank you for the info that Madelyn sent, and to you Martha for putting it on line. Now with all the Bright info maybe some one may know about my Wm Bright, for a while i though he may have been the son of John but his Wm died 1754, mine died ca1762. His will was not in the NC will abstracts, His was in the DUplin Co.,Wills. Wm Bright m ???? had dau's Sarah Bright m Stephen Herring ( i have seen a Stephen Herring in Lenoir Co,not sure if this is Sr or Jr) other dau Ann m John Winders, John and Ann's dau Sarah m James Grimes of Duplin Co (old Dobbs) thier son Stephen m Bethany Hines dau of Joel Hines of Lenoir Co.,NC. Back to Wm Bright , could his father been Richard or Henry the bro of the John that d ca1720?? or does anyone have any info on the Francis Bright that was in Va 1651 (Francis Bright arrived in 1651 with his wife.) i found this on that Francis Bright ----------1/16/1653 Deed signed by Francis Bright . WIT: by WALTER GRIMES Lower Norfolk Co.,Va. interesting that the Grimes knew the Brights back in 1653 and well enough to wit his deed. Thank you for any help given Christine Grimes Thacker
