Wright. John W. Wright is my great, great, great grandfather. I am Carl "David" Wright Jr.; My father is Carl David Wright "C.D.", my grandfather is Samuel Masters Wright "Sam"; My great grand father is James Wright "Lee", My great great grand father is Samuel Thomas Wright; and my great, great, great grandfather is John W. Wright. I am descAended from the marriage of John and Ann J. McJunkin. I would like to know information about John's parents that came over with him and his brother Samuel and sister Ann. I understand the parents of John died of fever and are buried around Charleston S.C. My Great Uncle, Ishmael Wright recalls of the English estate settlement that cam I would also like to know of any information about John W. Wright's family in Liverpool before the departure around 1808. I have done some "basic" research on the Wright Name and oldest origin I can find of the name is that the Wright names comes from the border clans of Scotland and England. In the In 1603, according to the internet link -http://www.caitlinbinning.com/wrightname.htm; the border clans (including Wright's perhaps) were dispersed to England, northern Scotland and to Ireland. Some were banished directly to the Colonies. This came under the famous King James of Scotland who united the crowns of Scotland and England. I've also read somewhere where there were some Wright brothers who helped William Wallace. Course, I'm still looking for information about that predates John W. Wright.
