Hello
My Wright family came from Belfast, Ireland between 1784 and 1800. I know
that a son Robert was born in 1784 in Ireland and they were in South
Carolina in 1800. bot far from Kithcart families. Robert married a
Kithcart. After they left S.Car. they were in E.Tenn. for awhile where
some of Robert's children were born, then on to the wildnerness of
Harrison Co., Indiana where they settled in what is now Webster Twp.
These pioneers are buried in Musselman cemetery and have tombstones.

married there.
