I get the Wright messages now that I'm on the mailing list. Do you know of a Richard Wright,Sr. (and Jr.) of Rowan County, NC? Jr. later moved to Davidson Co., NC Through a land sale deed, I recently became aware of my Wright heritage, being the Great-granddaughter of Mary Ann Wright (Varker) AND her 23 siblings, Richard, Jr.'s children by his second wife, Cary Kittrell (believed to be of Davidson Co., although it seems the Kittrell family is more to the eastern side of NC). Richard married 1:Mary (or Jane) Morgan in 1780; d. abt 1798. Had 12 children (includes 1 set of twins): Sarah Amos Delilah Jane Caroline Cory Gizzeal Reuben Isaiah Elijah Nancy Isom Susannah Married 2: Cary (M. 1798). Children are: Clayton Ruth (married Jesse Gallimore, Esq.) Celia (m. Snider) Nelson Silas Burges(s) Mary Ann (my GGM) Micajah Miles Ailsy It is known from an article about Ruth Wright Gallimore that her mother, Cary, had 12 children; however, I can only account for 10. Some information on this Wright family was obtained from "Genealogy of the Wright Family" by Lillie White, Mar 1943), but I've found through my own research, that some of the book is in error. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Shirley Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

May I butt in? I have three different WRIGHT lines, but there seem to be a penchant for using Biblical names and so does yours. Mine in one line are N. Carolinians and were deemed Tories for the REV.War , the connection is ENYART/D and DU/eRLING( Hezekiah and Gideon)both died by end of war1780's. Your Richards caught my eye because it have Sr. Jr. but much later and in Henry Co. Mo. bud. -----Original Message----- From: wright-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:wright-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of gc-gateway@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2008 3:53 AM To: WRIGHT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [WRIGHT] Richard Wright, Sr. and Richard Wright, Jr.
