Dear Marilynn: Sorry, but your Wright is not in my book. Thanks for asking. Good luck in your search. Sandra Wright Kennedy ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

I noticed you mentioned Vermont Wright's as being in your upcoming book. I am very interested. My family moved from Vermont to NYearly in the 1800's. One of them was Whittlesey Wright from Pownal VT who moved when he enlistedin the War of 1812. In my direct line is Lyman Wright (b 1819 in NY). His parents were from Vermont. Do have any thing that could link those names? Allan Wright atandthree@verizon.net Swkennedy@aol.com wrote: Dear Marilynn: Sorry, but your Wright is not in my book. Thanks for asking.
