I know there were two brothers, William H. born about 1826 and John N. born about 1831. John was in the Civil War and had a wife that died around the mid 1860's. After the war, John left New York and joined William in Hawai'i. I have very little information about the WRIGHT family prior to that. I would like to know more about John and William's ancestors, and if there were any other siblings. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
