    3. Vivian, I do not by any means know the lines of Wright families but do have a stack of Wright info probably four inches thick. Many pages are duplicates by various persons, but I can tell you that Roy R. Wright of 8 Gancho Lane, Hot Springs Village AR 1909-3807 has sent us copies of (soft) bound books on the family. After the first one he sent a second called Wright Revisited and then a third, Revisitt Revisited . It was published in 2000. You probably know of Willard Heiss who published many Quaker records (6 volumes on Indiana) and was with the Indiana State Historical society for many years. His private works were given to Earlham college in Richmond, IN where Prof. Thomas Hamm has charge of the Library there. I have about 30 pages titled "A Sketch of the Wright Family of Bush River, SC" that was his work sheets where he marked out words and wrote in others, that starts with the Wrights who came to Randolph Co,IN. He starts with James Sr. and Mary Davis and their children, and continues with John and Rachel Wells. The Original is in the Friends Collection, Lilly Library, Earlham College. If this is something you might be interested in I can copy it and mail it to you if you give me your Post Office address.
