I just saw your posting regarding Richard Wright and named his children - namely MARY. Mary Ann Wright was my Great-grandmother. She married Thomas Varker (a miner from Cornwall England) in Davidson County in 1842. Their first child was James Thomas Varker, b. in Davidson in 1843; he later became my Grandfather. In all total, they had six children and I have information on them as well. I have long been told that I am of Native American lineage, but could not trace it to anyone of my other 'tree' branches. I have collected a lot of information - mainly led through 1850-1880 censuses. Her descendants are numerous - to my knowledge, mostly in NC, but some in other States as well. I know that she is not in the 1900 census, but do not know when she died or where she may be buried. I am extremely interested in any information (especially in any publications) you might have regarding Mary Ann and I would like to contribute to the Wright line as well.
