Ever since then I have been going through my collected info from years ago and have come to the conclusion that the below info relates to brother's. The first 3 I think are brothers'. The other information listed are surnames that I have connected to the Wright surname.

My 3rd great grandpa was named Robert, So I have Robert, William, Robert and then my grandpa William. I don't think that any of the other Wright's immigrated to the United States except for my great grandpa Robert as none of my family ever talked about or knew about other's in the US.
