Hi DJ. I prob. should keep my nose out of this as I don't know anything either except we have a James Wright b. abt. 1817. One census shows SC. and 1 shows OH. I even mention this because James son Charles mar. Irene Coat, d/o Miles Coat, b. Newberry. Miles family came to Miami Co., OH. Miles (and bro. William) eventually moved to the border of White and Pulaski Co., IN as did James and family. I have put in a fair amount of time on the Coat but went nowhere on the Wright. Sorry that's all I have!

I have a neighbor who was a Wright. She's real knowledgeable about the Wright family, too. She was raised up around Ora,S.C. but has been in Clinton,SC since she married a Holland. There is quite a bit of information about the Wright families in the Holland History. When I was young (many years ago) mother and I used to visit with Mr. Zack Wright who raised Peacocks in his backyard. I have Vol. I, Newberry County Cemeteries and there are MANY Wright family members listed. Here are a few listed In Vol. I.: Abner E. Chicora Dellis Clayton S. Daniel P. Eliza P. Ida Hunter Ida Mars James Wright James David Joe Wright John N. Lucy Luther Mary Mary Ann Purnell Sally Mrs. Sara M. B. Sarah Thomas Thompson G. William N. Willie Zaccheus Zaccheus F.
