Carole Ann --
I'm glad that you finally found Wraight on the internet! I know that it's frustrating and daunting to find our name anywhere! Seems to me that there are only three famous Wraights, and those are the only three people I seem to find when doing a search! I wish there was more information out there...
It's a good probability that we share the same roots on our family tree. I have only been able to trace my line back to my 3rd great grandfather Richard Wraight -- who was said to have come from England. Where and when he came to the U.S. are still mysteries to me. The earliest that I can find him is in 1840, residing in Wayne Co., N.Y. -- and there is another Wraight there, Thomas Wraight, who I theorize was likely to be Richard's brother or other close relative.
The name Alice Wraight is familiar to me, as I think I have seen some information on her on the internet. I also recall the Folkestone area of England.
I am always willing to discuss this subject further -- and I am dillegently trying to connect with other Wraights from all areas -- you never know who might be your relative -- especially with a name that gets mangled and mispelled as often as Wraight!
