Wright in 1917-1918. But what I also have been relying on is information gathered by my half-sisters, ex-son-in-law in California who I knew nothing about until I began this journey with my sister who lives in Nevada, but he has done a lot of work but and I dont know what his sources are. So, I tried to just begin with my father and then his father, and the name discrepancies are mind boggling such as M. Bostic Wright, Montgomery Bostick Wright, Boston M Wright and Bostic M Wright. And I also found on a census that my father whose name is Rossie Burnett Wright, was listed as Rocky Wright and also listed as a female. But his other siblings which I know are correct are all there, except for one brother of his who was listed once as Howard instead of Howell. SO, I am learning quickly about info not being reliable. Also, found another question on my gf's mother as Catherine Morris but I show something with Mary C. and then found a Margaret T. ??? I'm going crazy. I will just be glad to do th! e DNA and see what turns up there. I spoke to my sister-in-law in Tampa, FL who says there is a picture of our ggfa or gggfa with Milton Wright and that they were brothers. And I dont know who has this picture, but she says she remembers our grandmother having it at one time, but doesnt know what happended to it from there. My gfa William Brantly Wright has siblings listed as: (born about) Zachary Taylor b: 1848, Eliza Jane b: 1850, James Aaron b: 1852, Samuel D. b: 1854, Salomon Carson b: 1857, Naomia E.R. b: 1859, John Bunyon b: 1861, Annie Florence b:1864 and Thomas Montgomery b: 1866. then from a first marriage there was Charlotte P. b: 1844, John Calvin b: 1845 and Alfred Dockery b: 1846. All Children of Aaron Wright b: 1817 in Brutons, NC (Montgomery County). My question for you now is: in your line I see (Samuel 3, James 2, Samuel 1) What can you tell me about them. As my g-grandfather had siblings with these first names. Melanie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
