Good morning Geri, There is no reference to William WRIGHT in the book, "Red River Settlers." If you don't mind, I will print your email and place it in our folder of things to look for on our next trip to TSLA. We wish that we could have been more helpful at this time. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. Sincerely, Stan Magnesen ROOTWALKER site/list coordinator ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a message dated 2/25/01 3:49:17 AM Pacific Standard Time, Hardtown2@aol.com writes: > Subj: Re: [ROOTWALKER] Wright, Griffith, and Bowers families in "Red River > Settlers" > Date: 2/25/01 3:49:17 AM Pacific Standard Time > From: Hardtown2@aol.com > Reply-to: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > To: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > > They were in basically Dekalb,Smith,Wilson counties, some moved to > Davidson > counties.
