I looked at the website and realized I had visited the site last evening where I found information on a lot of Richard Wright's children, except Mary Ann. I have already sent him an email and hope to hear from him. While I do not have a lot of information on her, I do have a massive NC Supreme Court transcript that was the result of my Great-grandfather Thomas's death in 1854 and subsequent estate settlement in early 1860's. That was my first confirmation that her maiden name had been WRIGHT. I do know that she has many descendants that wish to know more of her. For instance, had she been married before - accounting for the name GEDDIS that was on the marriage bond in 1842? Not that it matters, now knowing her true maiden name. Not much is known of Mary Ann except what I found in the 1860, 1870 and 1880 censuses. It appears that she stayed in the Silver Hill area. I'm sure she and my GGF must be buried there. I've traced all six of their children - not to current individuals, but I was hoping to be able to find a least as to where my Great-grandparents may be buried. I'm sure that wherever they are, they may not have a headstone. While GGF was fairly well-to-do when he was alive, it's my belief that Mary Ann and her children may have had things pretty hard in the succeeding years. Please keep me in mind if you happen across anything or anyone who may have information on her to share. Are you are a descendant of Richard Wright? If, so, then we are kin.

SHIRLEY; In your NC records do you have DURLING,E/INYART/D or Hezekiah Wright or Gideon Wright? Gideon , I believe is where my line starts but I don't know about their background. They were labeled Tories in Rev. War.. I have medium good descendancy. Missouri line. Then I have a Pennsylvania line of WRIGHT also. And on these only know one line of descendents. I have old copies of WRIGHT WORKSHOP?BOOK, will check for others.
