Hello, I am Claire Morelli and live in Portland, Oregon. I am trying to help my cousin in SC who doesn't deal well with computers but wants very much to put together information on her husband's Wright line so her children and grandchildren will be privileged to have it to pass on to future generations. Her husband was Thomas Barak Wright. Tom's line so far as we know and as far back as we know is: James Wright born 16 Jul 1811 in Greenville, Greene Co, TN. He md 23 Mar 1844 to Jemima Norton, daughter of Barak Norton and Mary Nicholson. Jemima Norton Wright was born in Pickens District, SC. James died in Shortoff, Highlands, Macon Co, NC on 19 April 1886. Jemima Norton Wright died 22 July 1897 , also in Shortoff, Highlands, Macon Co, NC. Children: Marion Wright b 12 Sept 1846 in Whiteside Cove, Jackson Co, NC. Marion md Julia A. Bryson on 17 Feb. 1881. Barak Wright was born 22 Dec. 1847 in Whiteside Cove, Jackson Co, NC and md 22 Feb 1872 to Virginia Adeline Green. Mary E. Wright was born 1853, Whiteside Cove, Jackson Co, NC. and died 29 Oct 1929. She md R. J. (Jule) Phillips, 05 Dec 1886. William Wright b 26 Dec 1850 in Whiteside Cove, Jackson Co, NC, & died 08 Oct 1851. - - - - - - - - - - James Wright had a brother Robert who was b 1 Jan 1804 in Greenville, Greene Co, TN and md 18 Dec 1833 in Greene Co, TN to Louisa Anne Shryock who was born 07 Dec 1802. She was the daughter of Jacob Shryock and Amelia Shryock. Amelia died the 22nd of June 1865 at the age of 88. Louisa was born in the Shenandoah Valley in VA. Robert Wright died 11 March 1885 in Sweetwater, Monroe Co, TN. Robert and Louisa's children: Emily Ellen Wright b 18 Sept 1834 in TN & d 11 Sept 1838 in TN Susan Elizabeth Wright b 11 Oct 1839 in TN & d 10 Mar 1855 Alpha Guinare Wright was b 18 Jan 1843 in Sweetwater, Monroe Co, TN & died 04 Aug 1910. Nancy Wright was b 08 Apr 1847 in Monroe Co, TN & died 19 Jun 1932. She md on 28 Oct 1869 to Charles Judson Hudson in Sweetwater, Monroe Co, TN. The above exact dates & names of wives were found in an old Wright family Bible , but unfortunately the parents of James and Robert Wright were not given. The bible did say their father was from Ireland. I found the 1850 census of Monroe Co, TN and then tried to back track in the 1820 and 1830 census of counties in TN but wasn't able to come up with an 1840 census to try and work out prospective father with younger males that would fit in with above ages. I came up with a John Wright who might fit, but of coarse it is supposition at this point and I have found no Land Records, Wills, Probates or tax records to work with and haven't come upon any County Court Minutes to search for bits of information. Any help would really be appreciated and my cousin says she would be happy to exchange anything she can with folks. Her husband was Thomas Barak Wright b 08 Feb 1925 in Highlands, Macon Co, NC and died 05 Oct 2005 in Central, Pickens Co, SC. He was the son of Charles Nicholas Wright b 17 Jan 1873 in Shortoff, Macon Co, NC & Helen Pauline Cabe, no further data known on Pauline Cabe. Tom's grandparents were the above Barak Wright and wife Virginia Adeline Green. Anxious to work with anyone who is interested.
