Kristy, As a further follow up to your email, there was one Wright family that has similar names to yours and that family was William Wright, Sr. (Bedford County). William Wright Sr. was born before 1762 and probably before 1752, resided in Bedford County, Virginia, and had four identified children: 1. William Wright, Jr., born before Mar 26, 1767, and married Ann Neel or O'Neal on Mar 27, 1788, at Bedford County, Virginia, 2. Richard Wright, born before Aug 31, 1782, 3. Charles Wright, born after 1774 and before Jun 9, 1783, and married Polly Eubank on Mar 2, 1808, at Bedford County, Virginia, and 4. Jane (Wright) Waters, born probably before 1791 and married to John Waters on Dec 22, 1806, at Amherst County, Virginia. This family lived in northern Bedford County near the Amherst County border and a Charles Wright, possibly the same Charles as listed above, shows up in the Amherst County Personal Property Tax Lists in 1833 and thereafter. Jane (Wright) Waters and her husband John Waters moved to Hall County, Georgia, in about 1808. I noticed you are from South Carolina. The combination of names William, Charles, Eubank, and Richard in this family and their proximity to Amherst County suggested them as a possible connection and your William S. Wright might be a son of Charles Wright and Polly (Eubank) Wright. Let me know if any of this is of any help to you. Best wishes, Robert N.
