Silas Wright (1844-46) and Nancy Reagan all trace their ancestries back to the sons of immigrant father, Deacon Samuel Wright of Springfield and Northampton. If you give me your lineage back to Josiah Wright, I can prepare a cousin chart for you that will show you what our relationship is and of yours to Wilbur and Orville, Ethan Allen, etc. Mike Wright Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
