Hello Diana - Quite interesting! I have NOT personally researched the Wright Families. My information came from the records of Sanford Wright (his genealogical information is now at the Barnesville Library). Will contact a VanDyne researcher with your newest information and re-check both my notes from Sanford's files and the letters I rec'd from his daughter, Nellie Wright. Do keep in touch - Donna ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diana Davis" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 29, 2004 8:01 PM Subject: Re: [OHBELMON-L] DANFORD, WRIGHT, MECHEM, MOORE in Belmont Co., OH > Donna, unfortunately, there were two Thomas Timothy WRIGHTs, apparently both > born in 1823 (though some census' differ).
