I am the GGG Grandson of John W. Wright (b.1804 - d. 1891 who sailed with his parents from Liverpool to Charleston, S.C. around 1808. It is thought that is parents "could have been" John Sr. and Elizabeth and that they died of fever and are buried around Charleston, S.C. He had a sister named Ann who married a Jake/Jacob Ringer and a brother named Samuel. Here's the link describing the early history of the Wrights in Scotland. http://www.caitlinbinning.com/wrightname.htm Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
