Any additional information would be appreciated. Grandfather: James Jackson Wright born 1888 in Detroit,TX to William H. Wright born 1846 in either Red River Cty or Tenn.and Sarah Elizabeth ? Wright born 1857 or 1859 in Nashville AR. She was a widow by the age of 40 and remarried S.E. Kilmer. I believe they are both buried in English. Grandmother: Sallie Johnson Wright born to John Robertson Johnson born 1857 in MS and Laura Ada Howe born 1865 in MS. They both came to Clarksville in 1892 with their 5 children.Later there was a total of 8 children. . Grandmother: Sarah Elizabeth Green born about 1886 in AR married Andrew Jones Cornett in Clarksville. I have been unable to find any Green's in Clarksville in the early 1900's. Thanks.

Louise, There was a James Wright in Clarksville in the 50's he was my sunday school teacher. He died at a fairly early age but had small grand children at the time. His family still has a cabin a South Lake (south of Clarksville). The cabin was next to ours. He had 2 or 3 sons. I don't know them well, but one goes by the name of Frog Wright. Also my brother-in-law is a Kilmer that was raise on Peters Prairie southeast of Clarksville. My brother-in-laws father was called Blackie Kilmer. He is buried at Lane Chapel on the prairie. I forget his real name. This are just tidbits than may not connect. I may can get more information if you want me to. Also Tom Watson will be talking to you about his Cornett grandparents. I remember Helen & Johnny Cornett of Clarksville in our teen years in the 50s.

Jim: James Wright was my mother's brother, with 2 sons...Jim Bob and Billy Dale (Frog). It's his and my mother's grandparents I'm trying to get information about. I have corresponded with Tom Watson....our grandfathers were brothers. Helen and Johnny Cornett (another sister Merle Jean) are my first cousins....our Dad's were brothers. Our grandmother was Sarah Emma Green and I can't find any information about her. All I have are names for the great grandparents. Thanks for your help.
