In looking through my WRIGHT notes I have found references to the following civil suits filed in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana: # 1014 SMITH & WRIGHT of New Jersey vs. Robert TROUSDALE filed May 19, 1831 # 1096 William WRIGHT, Hanford SMITH & Fitch SMITH, Merchants of Newark, N. J. d/b/a SMITH & WRIGHT vs. Robert TROUSDALE filed March 8, 1831 # 1409 SMITH & WRIGHT, Merchants of N. J. vs. William A. SEAY filed Sept. 19. 1833 #1606 Hanford SMITH & William WRIGHT, Merchants of Newark, N. J. d/b/a SMITH & WRIGHT vs. Richard HUNGERFORD & Henry DWIGHT & John HARTMAN, the latter merchants d/b/a DWIGHT & HARTMAN filed July 5, 1834 This is as they are listed in the index. Anyone know who the William WRIGHT is? St. Mary Parish was agricultural at that time, growing cotton and/or sugar cane Nancy L. Wright
