Hi, I am looking for a male Wright surnamed descendant of Captain Peter Wright b. 1740 in Hempstead, NY who served in the Rhode Island militia during the Revolution then later moved to Shaftsbury, VT where he died in 1821. My brother (surnamed Wright) has done a DNA test but so far the Wright DNA project does not have a test for anyone descended from Captain Peter Wright. Through other records I am postulating our descent from him but would like genetic evidence to further strengthen that case. I would also love to see more DNA tests from other colonial New England and New York state Wrights. My brother's test has matched to a couple of colonial Virginia Wrights. I believe these may be brothers of my main line but until I can trace my line farther back I won't know how or when our families join up. Thanks very much! Diane Wright
