Hi Rose Marie, I'm the great granddaughter of William Wright (Julia's brother) son of George Wright. Our family lore also states that we were decended from Philomen but like you I hit a dead end at Elizabeth Fern and William Wright. Were you ever able to find out if William Wright descends from that line? I'd love to get that mystery solved! (I see this is an very old thread so not sure if you are still active)
