Wright 1844-1867 in Coffee Co. Tennesse. After Joanna's death her mother, Sally C(?) Wright, raised their children and died after 1900 at her grandson's (my grandfather John W. Campbell) home in Coffee Co. Tennessee. According to Census records she was born in Kentucky. I believe Sally's brother was Charles Allen Wright,who lived also in Coffee County until about 1860/1861 then moved to Kentucky. I am looking for their parents, and where in Kentucky prior to finding them in Tennessee in 1850. When Charles went back to Kentucky he might have gone to Livingston County Kentucky. Not sure when or where he died. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Sue Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Thank You DAR members! Over the years, DAR has established more rigid standards for documenting primary records, and other documents offered as proof for new members. Members of DAR have taken time to assist me in determining which of my Patriot ancestors have been listed on approved member's applications in the past. Stop by The Headquarters if you're visiting the monuments in Washington D.C., it's walking distance from many of those, and the White House! My wife is compiling documents for her new member application, and has already received help from local members toward that goal. There's no comparison between a GEDCOM file listing ancestors, and offering valid proof (or three) that ties each generation of a surname on your family tree!

I'm looking for information on the following individual: REVEREND RICHARD WRIGHT Birth: 15 Jun 1783 in <http://places.ancestry.com/index.aspx?tid=11540201&pid=-266459676&eid=64326 12912> Randolph County, North Carolina Death: Nov 1843 in <http://places.ancestry.com/index.aspx?tid=11540201&pid=-266459676&eid=64326 12911> Greene County, Indiana Son of Benjamin Wright, Sr. [b. abt 1752; d. abt 1842] and Barbara Morgan. Married: <http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/11540201/person/-137627121> ELIZABETH HUGHES 1783 - 1830 According to the 1830 census, they had 11 children. I'm looking for bona fide information on the children's names. I recently received from the Greene County Clerk's Office 3 partial pages of "Petition to sell lands" that appear to be a later part of Reverend Wright's estate - but after the fact of what should have been the original estate/Probate document. Specifically named in these three documents are named 3 daughters - SARAH HOKE, MARTHA WILKS, AND POLLY WRIGHT; and one son, JEREMIAH WRIGHT. Other than these, no other children's names were mentioned in the document. To date, with the exception of JAMES [a renowned preacher], SARAH, MARTHA, POLLY AND JEREMIAH, I've not been able to find anything to indicate other children by birth or name - such as Bible or estate documents. The dates of birth indicated by many researchers do not appear to match up with the years as indicated in the two censuses. I know that censuses can be misleading by at least several years. Year of birth and the dates of the censuses will make for that allowance: I'm willing to accept information that may vary to that extent. Second marriage: Judith Walker on May 22, 1834 in Greene Co., IN. No children from this marriage. Shirley

Shirley; I will gladly proctor you thru finding your Richard in the hope that I entangle mine. Please let us do this off site until the conflicts are resolved and tentatively proved. [email protected]

I think we need just a bit more info. from you to get started. How about your Dad's birthdate (month,day,year)and then his Mom & Dad's name and birthdates (and death dates if they are not still living), then your Great Grandpa & Grandma's dates, etc. Don't forget to give us your Mom's maiden name and your grandma's maiden name. That will give us a good start. I suggest you write down your name on a piece of paper and your birthdate and WHERE you were born (town and state) then do that for your Mom and Dad and then Grandma and Grandpa and so on. Start out slow and give us a little more information. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: MichaelWright12 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.wright/16645.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Trevor, Nice to meet you and welcome to this forum. In order to help we will need more information than just ancestor names in your lineage. I am assuming from your post that you are fairly new to genealogical research, and perhaps a youthful user of the Internet for the purposes of doing genealogical research at age 19. I must say that I am particularly encouraged that a young man of your age is interested enough in his ancestry to start asking questions now when there are likely to be family members alive who may be the only ones that know some crucial details. I wish I had taken up an interest in genealogy work at your age. It would have saved me years of research to have had the presence of mind to ask my relatives for information before they all died. So, assuming you are new to this work, I have a few bits of information I can pass on, and a few suggestions you need to consider. The first thing you should know about the Wright surname is that by 1600 it was the 13th most common surname in England. That means there are literally millions of Wrights running around today and most of them are not related to each other. The second thing you need to be aware of is that Y-DNA genetic genealogical testing in recent years has shown that there are over 100 entirely unrelated Wright male line family groups in the USA alone. The third thing you need to know is that asking for help from the on-line genealogical research community requires that you first provide more details other than just names of ancestors if you want to get any useful responses. Therefore, I suggest that when asking for help with a family research project it is best to provide some birth, marriage and/or death dates along with location information for these critical dates. These details along with the names of your known ancestors and names of their spouses are all needed for most of us to orient ourselves to determine if we are personally in a position to help you. It may surprise you to know that the names you have provided are common enough that, without a state or county of residence and a vital date for reference, no one is likely to be able to determine that they can help. Most of us are rooted in our research and our deeper genealogical knowledge only within a select region(s) of the country where our personal ancestors spent their time. For instance, I am very familiar with New England Wright families of MA and CT from the earliest times whose descendants later migrated to NH, VT, NY, OH, Canada and then even later to all points West. If you were to tell me your Wrights were of New England stock or born in one of those states, I might perk up and see if I could help. But if you tell me your Wrights are from Kentucky or Georgia, I would not give your request a second's thought, because I know next to nothing about the many Wrights who settled at an early time in VA/WV, NJ, PA, MD, NC, SC and Georgia and later moved to KY & TN ! and then on to IN or IL or IA. If the home region of your ancestors is not given in your request for help, the names alone are not enough to get much help out of the rest of us. I also wanted to leave you with the caution that you are asking people to spend some of their time digging through what they have on Wright genealogy (which might represent years of work) in order to come up with something that may or may not be helpful to you. If you are going to ask for their time to do that, I would hope that you would not find it too much to ask that you put in the additional amount of your time that it will take to re-publish your request for help so that it includes as much detailed information as you can gather by yourself on your ancestor's lives. Those of us who have been doing genealogical research for the last 20 or 30 years respond much more eagerly to people who appear to have done some of their own basic homework rather than those who appear to want the fruits of our collective hard work without putting any effort of their own into their family research. I trust that is not your intentions, but in cyperworld, the appearances of your written word is the only reality, and brevity in the genealogical arena is an enemy to your credibility as a serious student of your ancestry. Any brevity you are used to using in texting or e-mailing your friends does not work well in these forums. On the other hand, if all you presently have is what you have given in the previous post, then might I suggest you first canvass family members with questions about birth, marriage and death dates and locations as well as names of spouses. Your relatives are your first resource and should be tapped first. The next resource you can research on your own is the Census and State vital statistics records for the state of your ancestor's residence(s). Those records are right here on Ancestry.com. That work should give you some, if not all, of the details I was suggesting you post in your request for help and/or connections from the on-line research community. The last thought I wanted to leave you with is also a caution to do your own research and personally check original resources and records whenever possible. That is to say, do not take anything at face value that you find on the Internet, including the research of those other people who respond to your requests for help with possible connections. Be cautious in using published material from those older published genealogical works that have been made available on the Internet for free download. If the original source record for data are not given, be cautious in using and repeating the information until you have personally checked original records. In personal contacts, ask for source information whenever it is not given, and check them out so that you can begin to figure out what Internet sources you can trust to have checked their facts and which ones have simply cut and pasted unverified genealogies and offer them up as their own research. There are also databases th! at are used as genealogical sources that were never intended for that purpose and are full of errors of ever sort, such as the Later Day Saints (LDS) Library in Utah. This library of world records was put together for religious purposes, and while it is a great place to start one's research, everything in it should be checked because the family connections are not rigorously verified anywhere within their database. There is a lot of other bad information posted on line that does not pass even the most cursory of examination of the original records. Be very careful what you incorporate into your own records. Trust only those who are willing and can show you where they got their data and those things that you have personally verified. Be skeptical of everything else and don't allow yourself to get too vested in facts and connections that have not, or cannot be verified. Doing a genealogy correctly is hard work, detailed work, I would even venture to say, tedious work. It is also addictive work for those who really take to it. It can easily burn you out if you let it. So, be careful of that, too. Take a break from it now and then and never let it interfer with those efforts in your life that must be done well to keep career, house and home happy and prosperous. Remember, unless you intend to become a professional genealogist, charging for your time and publishing articles and books for profit, it is just a hobby which costs you money and time, just like any other hobby. I wish you well in your quest to learn more about your Wright ancestry, and I hope you can find those connections you are seeking. I also apologize if this response is a bit pedantic. I am a teacher and trainer by professional necessity, not by any particular talent for it. I just do the best I can when I see a possible need, and hope my "students" can rise above my deficiencies as a teacher and take away the message(s) without ill will toward the messenger. I wish you a long and satisfying interest in your family history. It isn't the most glamorous hobby, but there are many worse things you could spend your time doing and none of those would motivate you to learn the things you will suddenly find you want to learn to better understand who these people really were that you came from. Their life stories will amaze you before you are done and you will know American and British history better than you ever thought possible if you can find a way to follow your ancestry back to their origins in England.

William Wright born 1821 apparantly had a child (two years before William was born) in Aug 30 1818 Hon. Greenwood Wright wow pretty impressive. -----Original Message----- From: Lawrence May [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 1:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WR] Iredill or Iradell Wright This Biographical sketch may or may not be of help. WILLIAM WRIGHT (1821 - 1874 ) (from History of Putnam County, Indiana) William Wright, a pioneer, of Putnam County, was born in Lawrence, Indiana, April 13, 1821, a son of Samuel and Jane Wright, natives of Kentucky. His grandfather, William Wright, was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and after the war settled in Wayne County, Kentucky. His paternal ancestors were Welsh and his maternal, Irish. In 1824 he came to Putnam County with his parents, who located on the National Road, four miles south of Greencastle, where the father entered 160 acres of land and settled in the dense woods. He first erected a round log cabin, and the first year cleared the ground and put in sufficient corn to last them a year. About 1847 he removed to Mill Creek Township, locating on a farm which he had previously entered from the Government, and which had been leased for some time. He remained there until his decease, August 6, 1874. He was the father of thirteen children, of whom nine are now living: (1.) Hon. Greenwood Wright, of Wayne County. Iowa; | Greenwood Wright (Aug. 30, 1818 - Dec. 30, 1899) | | Susan L. (May) (Oct. 29, 1819 - Nov. 30, 1900) | | Buried Confidence Cem., Wright Twp, Wayne Co., IA| (2.) Cynthia, who married Wiley Smith, of Fountain County, Indiana, now deceased; (3.) Polly, widow of Josephus Gard, of Wayne County, Iowa, (4.) William; (5.) Brinton, of this county; (6.) Melinda, wife of William Ryan of Morgan County; (7.) Henderson, a resident of Kansas; (8.) Miiton, of Wayne County, Iowa; (9.) Nelson, Putnam County. The deceased: Martha, Sallie, Lucinda, and Templeton. When he settled in the county wolves were in abundance, and bridle paths were the only roads. He came here with five horses and money enough to enter 160 acres of land. From this beginning he acquired a large estate. He gave his children a fair education and a good start in life. He was a minister in the Regular Baptist church and in politics a Republican. William Wright, our subject, has been reared to manhood in this county, and he received a common-school education. He was married December 16, 1841, to Elizabeth Rude, and they had three children, two living: (1.) Nancy J., wife of John Finley, of Wayne County, Iowa; (2.) Cynthia C. wife of John Rakes, also of Wayne.County, Iowa. | John H. Rakes, June 13, 1844 - Jan. 10, 1917 | | Cynthia C. (Wright), June 30, 1846 - Apr. 13, 1894 | | Infant daug. Sep. 9, 1881 | | Buried Brown Cem., Wright Twp., Wayne Co., IA | For his second wife he married Ann Jones, and their one child is deceased. His third and present wife was Margaret Hill, and they have had eleven children, ten of whom are living: (1.) Martha-A. wife-of Marion O'Neal of- Mill Creek Township; (2.) James N., of Wayne County, Iowa; (3.) Martesia A., wife of L. L. Lucas, of this county; (4.) Lucretia, wife of J. M. Truesdale, also of this county; (5.) Andrew, of Mill Creek Township; (6.)

I have been reading the emails about DAR. As a long time DAR member, I want to expound on the websites. DAR has two websites. One is for the public and one is for the members only. There are those who will help you with finding patriots that have already been proven. That means that IF your person you are researching is already verified by DAR, then you can order an application copy that may help you with your research. Sometimes that is VERY helpful, and sometimes it may not be. That focuses on "how many" have that name. An example: John Smith from Virginia.. Is he yours? (I have one of those).. and believe me DAR has many. One I'm dealing with right now is WILLIAM ALEXANDER.. They have more or less frozen all of those and asking for better documentation. I have a supplemental on RICHARD WRIGHT, Sr. from NC and his eldest son, BENJAMIN WRIGHT, Sr. of NC>IN. My Benjamin was held up for a time due to his wife's name being proven.. so many things can transpire. Another example is my JESSE MAUPIN. They have come back to me and asked for better information as the person who first submitted him (and got approved) used info they now think isn't satisfactory. His father DANIEL is approved on my line, as is his son MOSIAS ... So you see many things can happen... I am happy to do DAR lookups on the WRIGHT lines as I have access to the members list. I ask that you contact me personally at [email protected] . Please don't ask for other surnames as I work and I'm busy as a state DAR chairman with 41 chapters to assist. Wish I could do more, but I just do not have the time right now. Maybe later!!!!! Thanks so much...
