    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BAC.2ACE/1405 Message Board Post: I am searching for information concerning Musco Wright, who was born ca. 1750/51 in Virginia, parents unknown. He married Mary ( maiden name unknown ) and had children: Thomas, Martin, Caleb, Lewis, Ann, William, and possibly James, just in case he may have named a couple of them after his parents or siblings. He was in the 10th VA. Regiment, 2nd. Brigade, 5th Division during the Revolutionary War with other Wright's named: Moses, Richard, Parsons, Paul, Robert, Thomas, John, and James. Perhaps he was related to some of them. It is said that the soldiers from this regiment were made up from the western part of the state. Musco Wright could have been the product of 2 early VA. families of Wright and Muscoe. He left the state of VA. after April of 1778. Any help would be very much appreciated. Jean Mayo
