I only remember Dad talking about Collinsville as a BP. Also DeKalb County, Portersville and Fort Payne. So, I was surprised when I found Dad's WW I Draft Registration card stated BP as Cherokee. My grandfather was James Hamilton Wright (1861-1903) and my GGF was J H Wright (b. abt. 1835) in Alabama. I haven't found anything more about him. J H married Lucinda ___. Children: Zylphia E (c. 1858) James Hamilton (Aug. 1861) George (c. 1866) Lucinda A (c. 1868) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
