Hello Bright researchers, I do not have a Bright line but my Burton family had a connection to the very eary Bright family of Spartanburg. Although this Bright family moved on to KY shortly after 1800, I would think that there were sibs who remained in Spartanburg. Maybe this will give you something to look for. Hope it helps.
