    3. hi lyle: well, thanks for the good information. Yes, i was the one who initially agreed to some other known but (will keep it a secret) Wright researcher about Mary Ann Wright (not dau of Margaret Elvira Cain and Isaac Wright but the dau of William Morgan Wright and Miss Lynch) marrying William M. Cain. This person was soooooo convincing to me without any documentation. Since then, i have learned from the other good Wright researcher in Oregon, that this other researcher was probably wrong. As a consequence, I have to bite the bullet. The good Wright researcher even has a letter from Mrs. Mary Ann Cain to my grandmother (never seen the letter). Mary Ann addresses my grandmother as Aunt and signed it as her niece. My great grandmother was Margaret E. and Isaac's daughter and a sister to Mary Ann. The difficulty was the two Mary Ann Wrights were born about 2 years apart in Union County, Tenn. One was d/o William Morgan and the other to Margaret Elvira Cain and Isaac Wright. Learned a hard lesson. Question for ya: Since the surname of Wright is a very common name, you may not know the answer but is it possible that William Morgan was originally from Randolph County, North Carolina? That is where my Wright's came from. Some else, do not remember now who it was, has said that William Morgan's mother given name was Elizabeth. Assume that this was derived from census data. My data is on my other computer and it is currently inoperable. But will get it up in the next week. About Amy Catherine Wright, to my knowledge, was d/o of William Morgan. Do not know who has said that I said differently unless I inadvertently linked her to another set of parents. This is always possible. Thanks for the forewarning. In addition, will look again when William M. Cain died to see who the father of Etta Lemarr or Etta Cain. Her date of birth was approx 1897. Oops, I do have a hard copy, William M. died in 1908. I show that she may have been a CAIN (probably census data). Will double check on this. Yes, Mary Ann and William M had a son Isaac N (you show Isaac Newton) born may 1884 (census data). I show that Mary Ann and William M. had 9 children. Do not have any indication on how many lived to adult age. I know that at least was an infant death. If ya would like the names and dates, can send it next time. Thanks again, Lyle.
