Andrew married Bridget Ann Swim & Francis married Matilda Jane Swim. Francis was born in Kentucky, not sure where it was, but maybe Rowan County where Andrew was born. Francis & Matilda had several children born in Bushy Fork, Rowan County. I found several family trees that show Andrew's parents were Noah Wright & Mary Fleming, born in Virginia & several show both parents were born in Kentucky. I found 2 family trees that show the parents of Francis were Noah Wright & Mary born in Kentucky. Most records show Andrew born in 1821, Francis was born in 1828. Census data shows that Francis' parents were born in Kentucky. Most info I have found show Andrew as the only child of Noah & Mary, which is hard to believe since almost everyone had quite a number of children. I sent an email to the person who had the parents of Francis M. as No! ah & Mary Wright, but they have not replied, even though some of the info they have is from my family tree on Ancesty.com. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sometimes I wish I would have never started this research, each time I go 1 step forward, then another stop. I really hope I can find a connection to Noah Wright because my son, who is 10 years old is named Noah Wright. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
