Julia, Have you seen this? http://genforum.genealogy.com/wright/messages/16135.html Posted by: Linda Wright (ID *****6236) Date: June 01, 2003 at 03:34:07 In Reply to: BARZILLAI WRIGHT,BORN ABT. 1830 IN TN. by pat rogers of 19097 While looking for my James Wright I ran across a Barzillai and have a family history for him back to Thomas Wright. The researcher who wrote this said Barzillia was b. March 20, 1811 and married Christian C. Swindell Jan 16, 1832 in White Co TN. and d. May 1904. Christian was b Nov 5 1814 and d. May 16, 1865 and they are buried in the Flag Spring Church Cemetery in Moniteau Co MO. They had 12 children, one of which was George b in Missouri Jan 17 1851. He married Rosa Wade in 1879. He d.Nov 5 1899. To them was born Barzillai Earl and Howard Knowls Wright. If this helps contact me at L2Wrigth@yahoo.com.

While I have a lot of info on these families, I cannot connect my great grandfather James Wright with the Cox(Cocke)-Wright line. > >So I have to find out more about Martha "Patsy Cocke/Cox.

They were married Native style in 1804 and by a JP in Richmond in 1808. She is supposedly full-blood Cherokee. She and James had 3 children; Bettie(Elizabeth); Barzillia; and James jr. There was a 4th child mentioned, Seth, who was born in 1827, but according to records, Martha never remarried after James died at a Norfolk, Va. army hospital.
