Once the R1b1 group loads, go down to Richard Wright (1784/85)(whole thing highlighted in yellow) and click on Richard Wright. That will take you to the descendancy chart with the kit numbers identified. The Philburt Wright kit number is 30080, which, unfortunately, is only a 12 marker perfect match for the Richard Wright Sr. haploid modal. That doesn't prove he is a son of Richard Wright, just that he is certainly of this genetic line of Wrights. He could be a nephew or once removed cousin and still test a perfect match to the 12 marker haploid modal for Richard Sr. The benchmark 37 marker result for a known Richard Wright son is through a William R. Wright descendant and a 25 marker result for a Benjamin Wright descendant is a perfect match to that up to 25 alleles. You would almost certainly have to have a full 67 alleles tested for all three participants to see if the Philburt descendant really had a high probablility of being a brother to Benjamin and William. Even then, you lack any DNA evidence from a cousin line to see if there is any descernable differences that can be detected between the DNA of Richard's male sibling offspring and his own. This is just a note of caution to my earlier unqualified comment to Melanie. I am still as skeptical about Philburt as Herb, despite the DNA evidence that is emerging. Relatively speaking, it is a little meager. And, in the meantime, I'm just as stumped at how to refer to him in the discussions of lineage other than as a son. There is still no seachange in this debate, just a little step in the right direction. Best Regards, Mike Wright Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I have a question, if the Philbert Wright 1768-1855 who came to Washington County, Indiana isn't the son of Richard Wright Sr., then who is the Philburd Wright mentioned in the will of Richard Wright Sr? I have several books from Washington County, Indiana that states that Philbert was the son of Richard Wright Sr. I'm descended from Philbert Wright and Molly Sears, now I'm confused! Help! Joyce "snip" This is just a note of caution to my earlier unqualified comment to Melanie. I am still as skeptical about Philburt as Herb, despite the DNA evidence that is emerging.

it turns out that that there are a number of philburd (Philbert Wrights) one is the son of richard wright, sr and another set from the line of Philburt from Maryland. Are they related? i think so but that is not enough. herb At 03:23 PM 11/8/2007, you wrote: >I have a question, if the Philbert Wright 1768-1855 who came to Washington >County, Indiana isn't the son of Richard Wright Sr., then who is the >Philburd Wright mentioned in the will of Richard Wright Sr?
