Hi Sharon,

That isn't the one we are looking for. Here is the information I have, and we will have to decide.

World War 1 Draft Registration Card 1917 to 1918.
Name Walter Wallace Wright
City Stocton, CaliforniaBirth Date Feb. 20, 1885 ( the birth date is off 2 years), but this the right person.)
It had native born, Aivor Boatsnan, City Wharf, Stockton, Calif. Wife Leona, 223, California St., Stockton Cal.
( son James Elmer Wright said this the person.) No place of birth, just native born.


1900 Census of Center, Madison, Iowa in the city of Winterset.

Walter W. Wright, birthplace , Kansas, 13 years of age (1887), father birthplace Virginia
Eliza J Wright age 52 (1848), born Ohio, Ohio,Penn
Charles W Wright 24, born 1875, Nebraska, father-Virginia
Mytrle M Wright 18, born 1882 in Neb., father Virginia


Calfifornia death index:
Wright, Walter W , born 1887, Feb 21. mother's maiden name Pugh, died in Santa Cruz County Oct 21, 1968.

1920 Census in San Francisco California: Walter Wright, 34, about 1886,father's birth in Virginia, mother Pennslyvania.. married to his first wife Leona Wright.
no children. his job was a teamster/street work

1930 Census Cenus, Stockton, San Joaquin Co, Calif.
born in 1887, born Kansas.
Memebers of the house:
Walter Wright 43, born KS,Va, Pa ,
Phyllis 22, wife ,born Ca, Eng,RI
Gena dau 5, Ca, KS, Ca
Philip 3, Ca, Ks,, Ca
William Wright 2 Ca, Ks,Ca
Marjorie 8 months, Ca Ka Ca
William C Wright 19, born Iowa, Nephew, father born Kansas, and his mother was born in California.
Charles Wright 52 y, brother born KS, father Virginia, and mother Penn.

James Elmer Wright his son was born in 1931. He told me his father was born in Kansas, that his granfather was part Irish and Cherokee, His granfather was in the civil war. He remmbers the Pugh name. He also said his father had a half brother Charles Wright, and remember's his father's half brother Edward ( was a police chef in Selma, Cal.) Also said he knew his granfather's name of William. That was all I had.

Walter Wallace Wright first wife was Leona?, His second wife was Phyllis Addicott,born in 1907. They had four sons.
Phillip, William, James Elmer,Clarence. Three daughters Marjorie, Jean and Eunice. Lived in Watsonville, Santa Cruz
County, California

That is about all I have exceph the 1880 census of Nemaha, Neb. if you want it of the Wright family. You probably have it.
