Good morning to this List . . . I am helping a woman with her Family History and her "brick wall" is one William D. WRIGHT b. abt 1859 in Alabama. I have an unknown wife for him and 3 children. Sarah M. b. abt 1878, William B. b. Oct 1879 and James Thomas b. 25 Jan 1876 - Kings River, Carroll, Arkansas. James d. 28 Jan 1948 - , Los Angeles, California. He married one Matilda (Tella) J. McCarty abt 1902. James Thomas is my friend's Grandfather and therefore his father William D. would be her Great Grandfather. I would like to extend William D.'s line if possible. I would like parentage and siblings. Is this name in anyone's data base? Thank you in advance for any information that may be shared. Lynn R. Hudson

I think he was probably William Dyson Wright probably born in TN. He married Malissa Jane Moreland. His father was James G. Wright. Here is a RootsWeb tree showing this family: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:a66894&id=I26 I think AR rather than AL is the place to look.
