Just in case anyone is related to the Wrights from Letcher County, KY, there is an excellent book about that line, and lots of history included in this book. http://www2.xlibris.com/bookstore/bookdisplay.asp?bookid=33014 I am just a researcher of these Wrights. They include "Bad" John Wright, who was one of my ancestors. There are also some good photos in this book.

Thank you, Ann, for this info. Do you happen to know where these Wrights were from prior to Letcher Co. KY? Mine are from southeastern VA, Surry/Sussex/Brunswick Cos & not much is out there on them. Thanks again!

Are any of these Wrights represented in the Wright Surname Project? It might be helpful to Wright researchers to be able to have this line represented in the project.
