Herb, I think the question marks show up in people with AOL addresses. I've noticed it on other boards. The person posting has no control over it. Joyce i dont understand all the question marks on your letter? herb

Hi Richard Wright Researchers, I think you all will all be interested to learn that we have now obtained Y-DNA results for our first proven male line descendant of Thomas Wright of Wethersfield, CT, the already proven?immigrant ancestor of Daniel Wright (1674-1764) husband to Eleanor Benton of Wethersfield, CT.? This?Daniel Wright has?oft-times?been proposed as the father of Richard?Wright Sr. of Rowan County, NC.? These fresh Y-DNA results show without a shred of doubt that Richard Wright, Sr.?of Rowan County, NC is not the same man as Richard Wright,?the son of Daniel Wright and Eleanor Benton.? These DNA data can be viewed at the Wright-DNA.org web site.? The male descendant of Wethersfield tested?out as belonging to?an entirely different haploid group (related closely?to Deacon Samuel Wright of Springfield/Northampton, MA) from the R1b1 haploid group?results for the?three Richard Wright Sr. descendants for whom we have Y-DNA data.? This means it is likely that?Richard Wright, Sr.'s?English ancestors?didn't even come from the same region of England as the Wrights of Wethersfield (West county Essex) and were not even of the same European stock.??Richard Wright Sr.'s parents?could have been Welsh, Scottish or Londoners, but almost certainly were not from East Anglia, England, though we still?need Y-DNA results from proven male?descendants of Peter, Anthony or Nicholas Wright of Long Island (descendants of the Kilverstone Wrights of Co. Norfolk)?before we can?say categorically?that Richard Wright was not likely from East Anglia, England.? Where he was from we still do not know. However, these DNA data, in my mind, lay to rest for all time any notion that Richard Wright Sr. of Rowan Co., NC was born in Connecticut to Daniel and Eleanor (nee Benton) Wright.? Unfortunately, it does not help us take any steps toward a better understanding of who?his parents?were and where?he came from than we had before.? But I am thinking this is a problem that might be solved best by Y-DNA testing of some willing Wright surname male candidates in Wales, the North counties, Scotland and Ireland as a way of?getting a better map of the?Wright?genetic landscape of England.? We would want men whose families have been pretty much in the same general part of?England for 10 or more generations or who know their ancestry well enough to know where their families originated back to about the 1500's.?? A recruiting and DNA testing program focused?on English?men of Wright surname?would?eventually bust through this brick wall?for Richard Wright researchers by pin-pointing a region of England from whence the R1B1 haploid group?is most likely to have come.??Once that was known, a more thorough search of local/regional records would become a more doable task that might reveal what you have all yearned to know for years.? Who was Richard Wright Sr.?!! My hope is this news and these new DNA data will begin to turn the tide in the speculation that this line of NC Wrights were originally from CT.? Genetics says it isn't possible.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: gragg021 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.wright/15340.1.1.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello. I tried the site provided and got this message "We're sorry. The page you tried to access is not available. The page may have moved, or there may be an error in the address. Please check the address or try one of the resources below." However, you can write to the Guilford County Register of Deeds and they will send you a copy of the deed - probably for $1.00 copy fee. I've had occasion to contact them in the past and they were wonderful. Their address is: GREENSBORO OFFICE LOCATION Lower Level, Room L53 New County Courthouse 201 South Eugene Street PO Box 3427 Greensboro, NC 27402 (336) 641-7556 - Phone Good luck on your research. Be prepared to find probably more relatives than you expect. I sent to Davidson County for a copy of a land sale deed that my GGM participated in. It was then that I found out that she had brothers! Not only that, I found there were 23 children all total!!! BTW - is your Benjamin Wright and relation to Richard Wright, Sr. or Jr.? I am a direct descendant of both.

John D. Wright born 1807 - 1808 VT died 1892 MO age taken from tombstone Coffman Cemetery, Andrew Country, MO Father Orval (not the air flight Orville) Wright born 1785 CT. Not verified Just thought there may be a family connection of some type since his father is from CT. I am fishing.
