    1. Re: [SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS] John Wright/Rachel Wells
    2. Hi: I descend from daughter Susannah who married Isaac Hollingsworth. They were among those moving on to Ohio. I have researched the family of John and Rachel quite a bit over the years. As far as I know--there was possibly one other marriage for John. I have not researched this possibility so don't know any more about her or if there was indeed a marriage. Most of my information has come from Quaker records and from information shared by other descendants of the Wrights back in the 1990s. Since then, a great deal of misinformation has appeared on the internet so you do need to be careful. Unfortunately I am on my way out of town and will not have internet access until I return on Sunday. If you are still in need of information by then I will gladly share what I have. I imagine, though, you will get plenty of help from others on this list. Burnis Argo In a message dated 10/19/2011 8:54:09 A.M.

Has anyone researched this family and would be willing to share. Did he marry twice? I just found out that Rachel Wells descends from Thomas Wells and Francis (not verified surname) and my Ashe Co NC also descends from Thomas Wells and Francis. Rachels Wells sister Charity married Joseph Wright. Their brother, Joseph married Charity Carrington and their son Joseph Wells married Margaret Dicks/Dix, daughter of Zachariah Dix the prophet that laid the seeds for the great migration out of Bush River. This family is really getting interesting! They go back to Hopewell MM. Wrights are a big group and I would appreciate any help I can get. I am hoping to find more connections between my Blevins/Ward/Wells and other Bush River people that came to Miami Co Ohio. Other families that ties into this group is the Marshalls and Pughs (my line, so ok there).
