DNA Testing Of Gabriel Wright Descendants

The_Stone_Family — 2013-05-24 03:54:46Z

If the paper trail is correct, one of my 6th great grandfathers is Gabriel Wright. He was supposedly born about 1747 in Scotland or Wales, married Deborah Ball about 1762 in New Jersey, moved to Virginia, then to Kentucky, and eventually to the Chillicothe/Frankfort area of Ross County, Ohio, where he died in 1803. I am trying to locate male direct line descendants of Gabriel for DNA test comparisons with my uncle, who is a direct line Wright descendant, to verify lineage from Gabriel, and to see if any connection can be made to Clan MacGregor descendants regarding the family legend of our Wright branch descent from them as told in the book Four Revolutionary Soldiers and Their Descendants... by Eloise M. Roberts. If any male direct line descendants have taken, or would be interested in taking (at my expense), a Y-DNA test to see if a match can be made, please get in touch with me via Ancestry messaging or the email address below.

Thank you,

Dan Stone

Date of birth 1828/9 Bury Lancashire England, parents John Wright and Betty Wright nee Wood, family later moving to Brinnington Stockport Cheshire England, he married Harriet Marsland Dec.1849 at The Parish Church in Heaton Chapel Stockport. The 1851 census shows Joseph lodging with a family named Vernon, but Harriet at this time noted lodging with a family named Wolstenholme, also Harriet's brother and his wife also lodging at this address in Cheadle Bulkeley Cheshire.
1858 shows Harriet as a widow and marying a Joseph Long noted on marr.cert.1858 at St James church Gorton Manchester father stated as William Marsland.
A search through Oldham Archives by personnel gave no further info. Oldham being the district of the aforesaid church. Prior to that date i.e.1858 known facts also are in 1852 a child was born to Joseph and Harriet Wright and christened William (my great grandfather) he is later noted to in 1855 been baptised at St Michaels RC church Stockport Cheshire, a godmother being stated as a Mary-Ann Ryan, I have certs. of all the aforementioned events! William later married a Lucy Jane Williams of Stockport, they married at St Phillips C of E Manchester, William at that time was living in lodgings in Manchester with a family by the name of Slack.
William and his family later moving to Tyldesley Manchester, the town where I was born and lived the first 12yrs of my life with my grandparents, my grandfather being the son of the aforementioned William.
Any help/enlightenment would be most appreciated!

Re: Henry P. Wright

WClayton43 — 2013-05-20 20:26:35Z

I am sure this has been answered long ago, but if someone new and a descendant of this family might wish to know the following/
Henry P Wright was born 24 Jul 1821 and was the son of Richard Wright b.1783 in Virginia (prob Halifax Co) and unknown Mother. The Wright family moved from Mecklenburg VA to SW South Carolina after the Revolution and on into Wilkes GA which later became Lincoln CO GA when that area was opened up to non-Native Americans. Sometime between 1810 and 1830 Richard moved to Giles Co TN and by 1850 to Lincoln Co TN.
There is a family Bible that lists the names and birthdays of all of Richard's children. I sent a copy of the original and a Transcription to the Tennessee Archives in 2011.

Re: Henry P. Wright

LynnHudson12353 — 2013-05-20 19:54:38Z

I have a Richard WRIGHT b. 1783 in Randolph county, NC, not Halifax and d. in Greene county, IN. I have his wife as an Elizabeth Hughes also born in Randolph county. No documentation nor children on this information. Process of elimination?

James WSright of Lincoln TN & Itawamba MS

WClayton43 — 2013-05-20 17:45:10Z

There is little doubt that David J Wright b.1816 TN d.1860-1870 of Itawamba, Mississippi and married to Jeanette Ford was the son of Richard Wright (1783 VA – aft 1850 TN). We know this from the family Bible of Richard Wright passed down through many generations of one of his daughters. We know that David J Wright had a son James b.abt 1837 TN. It would appear this is the James Wright is the James Wright of Itawamba, Mississippi in 1860 and Lee Mississippi in 1870 married to a Rachel b.1833 AL. This family was possibly in Piney, Van Buren, Arkansas in 1880. Many people have listed this in various Family Trees. However most claim this was Dr James Wright who died in White, Arkansas in 1903. However there is not a shread of evidence that James Wright of Giles/Lincoln TN and Itawamba MS and Lee MS was a Doctor and clearly was listed as a Farmer in 1850, 1860, 1870 Census records. There is a “Doc” James Wright listed in the Find-A-Grave Records of White Co AK, but that James was listed as being born 1831.

I would appreciate any evidence that this is in fact the same person.

We may have link, but I'm not 100% sure. I have a John Wright and a Jane Conn, but don't have anything about the American connection. Do you have the names of their children, perhaps, or John's Wright parentage?

Thanks for answering this thread!

Thanks for answering this thread, Amy. This is the same family - James was Tommy Wright's uncle, I'm pretty sure. I notice you also have Ruddell on your list of surnames of interest. Do you have any information on James Wright's heritage? Please feel free to email me directly if you think we can help each other with information!

Thanks for this, Robert. I haven't logged in for quite a while (as you can tell from my late answer!). We'd love to know more about this family, if you can help. Tommy Wright was my husband's grandfather. Your grandmother would have been known as Minnie, is that correct? I've been able to find out a few bits and pieces about the family, but our picture is far from complete. If you can help fill in the gaps, you are welcome to email me directly - we'd be happy to share what we have!

Hi,
I have Jane Conn born in Northern Ireland in the 1840s. Her parents were William Conn and Anne Wright. Jane had a brother possibly named Wright Conn. Jane Conn married John Troughton and they came to Illinois, USA in the early 1860s. Jane and John sometimes listed Portadown as where they were from. Jane is my great great grandmother.
I would really like to find out more about my roots.

Hi, my name is Neisha Wright. I am the wife of one of Ralston's children to his second wife. His name is Danny Wright. We have been trying to find out any information possible about Danny's father because his mother won't really tell us anything. If you have any information that could be helpful I would really appreciate it. I saw the picture you put on one of your posts and it is very familiar. You mentioned that one son died in 1973, would you be referring to Jr?

Re: Isaac Wright, Rebecca Thompson of Guilford Co., NC

jimekerr2 — 2013-04-30 02:33:07Z

Hi, I am related to the Wrights on my Mothers side. I live in Rutherford county Tn. Isaac Wright, born in 1731 lived in Guilford Co, NC. He was married to Rebecca Thompson who was born 1752. They had 8 children: Mary (Polly), Hannah, Abraham, Isaac Thompson, Jacob, Thompson, Elizabeth, Rebbeca. They are buried at Wards Grove Cemetary about 10 miles from Murfreesboro, TN. on Halls Hill Pike. I was wondering who Isaac's Mother and Father were. Please reply if you know or if I can help you with further info.

Re: Wright/Alabama

deanbucket1 — 2013-04-28 18:48:46Z

I have William in my database. I only have his wife Elizabeth, and one son, William Daniel Wright. Was Elizabeth Powe his mother? I also have that William Daniel Wright and his wife, America Jane "Nancy" West, are buried in Murphy Creek Cemetery in Louisville, Winston County, Miss. They had 4 children and they are also buried at Murphy Creek. Is that correct?

Re: Wright/Alabama

PatriciaWorshamnow — 2013-04-28 18:17:41Z

I believe that the William Wright on the same page as James Wright in 1850 is my line. He married Mahala Tyler and then Elizabeth Powe (Poe). William was dead by 1860 and Elizabeth moved with their four children to Fayette Co AL where the Poe family had settled. This Wright line eventually moved on to Oktibbeha Co MS and then to Pope/Conway Co AR.

Yes, I do. Their son, Jesse Austin Wright is my gg grandfather.

Charles H. Malone, b. 1862. TX & Zonia Webb, b. 1877, GA, Married 8 JUN 1904 in Erath Co., TX

jamesfry76 — 2013-04-27 17:51:54Z

He is the son of Isaac Malone and Sarah Durden. She is the daughter of John and Lora Webb, both of NC.

This is an approximate timeline for Zonia:

1875/1877 Born.

1880 At home with parents and siblings in GA.

1892 Charles Malone marries Belle Saunders on 14 Jun 1892.

1895 15 Apr, Zonia m. WRIGHT, J. W., Erath Co, TX.

1896 Had daughter, Leata Wright (on 1900) ( or Leona, shows that on 1910).

1898 Had daughter, Willie Wright.

1899/1900 Must be divorced/husband deceased. The only J. W. Wright in the Hico Cemetery Is James W., b. Jul. 22, 1849 d. Dec. 7,
1937 . James W. Wright, age 21, single shown as a border on the 1900 Census in Erath Co.

1900 Living with father and two small children named Wright aged 1 and 3 (1897 and 1899)in Erath Co., TX

1904 Belle (Saunders) dies 9 Apr 1904

1904 Zonia married to Charles Malone, 8 JUN 1904.

1905 Rhodes Malone born.

1907 Elmer Malone born, 22 Oct 1907

1909 Charles Malone killed in shootout.

1910 Living with 5 stepchildren ages ranging from 7 to 17, last name not given (1893 to 1907). Also two daughters named Wright aged 12 and 14
(1896 and 1898) and finally two sons named Malone aged from 3 and 5 (1905 and 1907). She is using the last name Malone.
These 5 children appear to be the children of Charles Malone and Belle Saunders, d. 9 Apr 1904 In Hamilton Co.

1951 She died in San Diego, CA on 28 Feb 1951 with the name, LANCE, Zona W.

1993 Elmer Malone dies in Imperial, CA on 20 Jul 1993. CA Death Records show Mother’s Maiden Name as WEBB.

Does anybody have any further information on Zonia? Where was she between 1910 and 1951?

Does anyone have any information or insight to who J. W. Wright was and what happened to him?

was Roger L. Wright later adopted?

cbpratt — 2013-04-26 19:34:41Z

Nov.20,1956 my aunt Mildred Louise Redman gave birth to Roger L.Wright in Kern general hospital,Bakersfield, California.. She had him with her in 1960 when visiting with her brother in Malden ,Missouri.Only time I ever saw him
In 1963 she died from vehicle accident in Bakersfield California. At the time of her death she was going by Mildred Louise Robinson.She had been married to a B.H.Robinson.
My aunt was not close with her family. Quite frankly , she was of an unsavory reputation, having been inprisoned a great deal of her life.
There was no mention of Roger after she left Missouri. I have not been able to find an actual obituary that might mention Roger. My father did not learn of her death until 1989.Would like to find out what became of Roger.Could anyone in the Wright line be of any help?

Re: James Wright (1755 - 1840) in Duplin, NC

mjbell11 — 2013-04-22 18:44:09Z

As far as I can see, your William Wright is probably not a son of James Wright from Duplin, NC. James Wright's son, William is pretty well documented and he was born in 1783 in Duplin, NC and married Rachel Whitfield in 1806 and died in New Hanover, NC in 1842. I don't think that he made it to Georgia. Good luck in your search.

This is the information we have on him. Married Sarah O'Neal daughter of Nathaniel O'Neal of NC and Wilkes County, Ga.

Been so long since I have had Wright connections. I have a
Family Record sheet from a bible that was in the possesion
of a great "Aunt" at least that how she was refered to by Mother and her sisters. This copy was made sometime in the early 1940's. Listed is:

James Wright was born the 15th of March in the year of our Lord 1827

Ursley E. Crocker was born the 30th of June 1822

F.D.H Wright was born the 21st of January 21st 1830.
He married a Sarah Ann Carper ( of the Carper family that ran a stage stop. in McNary county)

Emly W. Wright was born Feb. ( can not read a clear date)
1830?

My mother was a Wright and was reared in McNary as well as Hardeman counties.

Her father and my gfather was born in 1853, his name is Fredrick Foster Wright 1853 bn. McNairy county.

F.F. Wright father was John H. Wright born 1825 N.C.
Wife was Christins McGuinn Bn 1825 either N.C or S.C. only a state seperated the c area where they were reared.

I have listed a Benjamin Wright,Martha Wright and Thomas same household 1850

Also show a James Wright Jr. married to a Urshula (lnu)

My records show that they had an adopted daugher : Urshula J.L. Rosson . One my mothersisters married a Joseph L. Rosson.

I am stuck on John Wright (1825) can notgo back any futher.

I am willing to send a copy of the photosat if you wish to have a copy
