Well this is getting interesting.I think Mr. Grant is correct that the 2 William's info has gotten mixed up.I spoke with my mother after I read your post and she was unaware of a marriage to Amy Frazier.She thought that our William's first wife was a Miss Scott and Elizabeth Allison was the second wife.She also didn't know of a 3rd wife.She did think one of his son's was killed in the War of 1812, but thought his name was Samuel and the son of his first wife.Most of our information about our branch of the Wrights comes from my gg Uncle Earl Wright.We have a hand-drawn family tree that he drew probably around the turn of the century.But his tree only goes back to William and Elizabeth.We still don't know where William came from.Family story is that he was born at sea?Or who Elizabeth Allison's parents were.I am descended from William & Elizabeth's son Alpheus Billings.I've heard of Nabby and my mother knew of the McAllister man she married, but I've never heard of a Tennie or James Harvey.My mother has a copy of the tree and she's going to look at AB's siblings names.I would love to see photos or any other information you have to see if we can piece things together.
Thanks for responding!
