Wright in your line? My Arthur, a twin to Alex G., was born in Boston, MA in March 1850. The family had moved from New Brunswick to Boston, and then in the 1880s they "returned to Canada", I believe, to Nova Scotia. My Arthur traveled to Boston in the mid to late 1890s and indicated he was living in Nova Scotia. Arthur's father was Thomas Wright, a botanical physician and was involved in commerce while in Boston. Thomas was born in about 1809 in England (??). Thomas had a child, Mary, born in New Brunswick in 1835. Mother of Arthur, but not of Mary, was Mary Shaler. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
