Wrights in Richwood WV

Surnames: WRIGHT

Searching for county my father was born in 1910. His name was Sammy Wright, his father was Leonard Wright and his mother was Bessie Wright. Not sure of her maiden name. His sisters were Rosa, and twins Lula and Lillie and he had one brother named Lambert I think he was killed in a train accident, Lambert was married. The family moved to Richwood WV in Nicholas county about 1926, where my father later met and married Anna Madeline Parsons.
Any info anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.

Hi just for a correction on Bessie Alie Bullion, she was born Feb. 26, 1889 in Salt Lick, Braxton County, WVa
not in TN, her father William Lafayette Bullion was born in Grainger, TN. This comes from the family bible of William Lafayette Bullion which my aunt still has possession of. My great grandmother was one of Bessie's younger sisters, Edna Jane Bullion.
