Thanks Nan but neither were the correct Wright. I did find out that Jakie's first name was John. So anyone there in Erath that has information on a John Jacob Wright (1849 - Alabama), wife Cerena (1859 - Norway) and 7 children: William Robert (1877), Lillian Margaret (1882) Downs, Clarence Ulysses (1885), Thomas Silas (1888), Mary Lee (1893) Masters, John Franklin (1895 - Erath Co., TX) and Effie Josephine (1897) Jones it would be appreciated.
