Does this sound familiar?? ** S B WRIGHT born 1804 - South Carolina **
I have spent 12+ years trying to locate information on my great-great grandfather.While I would love to find out who HIS parent's were or be able to join in and debate which WILLIAM WRIGHT I might belong to, I just want to confirm who my GG Grandfather was.The earliest information that I have that I feel is correct, is the 1860 (Jul 11, 1860) census, which makes him "about" 56 yrs old.S.B. WRIGHT (1804 SOUTH CAROLINA) is living in ALABAMA with his wife MARY J (1826 TN) and 3 children:
S B WRIGHT (1850 - ALABAMA)
JOHN WRIGHT (1853 - ALABAMA)
JENNA or LAURA A (1857 - ALABAMA)
Because the first son was born "about" 1850 & was already 10, I took a chance and went back to the 1850 census looking for SB, MARY & possibly their son.
I came across a family that it appears are similar.The last name was possibly misspelled, they show a W as SB's middle initial and last name RIGHT.It could easily be that the census taker just lifted the pen up.Here is what I found:
SAMUEL W RIGHT (1805 - SOUTH CAROLINA)
MARY (1820 - ALABAMA)(above it indicates she was born in 1826 in Tennessee)
SAMUEL (1849 - ALABAMA)
This 1850 census was taken Oct 18, 1850 in GEORGIA.
I did find an S B WRIGHT that married a MARY ELIZABETH WRIGHT in Wilson, Tennessee (which would co-inside with her birth being listed as TN on the 1860 census), in January 1849.
My great-grandfather JOHN B WRIGHT went on to marry SUSAN McGREW and had 12 children with 9 going on to have families of their own.If ANYTHING sounds remotely familiar, please drop me an email.I would be forever grateful for any suggestions or help.
Thank you.
