Little of this info. is documented. There are sooooooooooooooo many
Wrights in Washington Co. and sooooooooooooooo few records. I have
researched some of this material, and some was given to me by a good
genealogist.

The fact that his kids were born in Ohio and it is not known where he
died and is buried, makes it feasible that he is your Samuel. There are
other factors listed that do not meet your criteria, but remember that it
all may not be correct.

I have another envelope of misc. facts concerning Wrights, and I hope to
go through that again and see if there may be any more tidbits of info.
Will contact you again if I find anything.

I only live 4 hours away from Washington Co., PA, and have good contacts
there, but I was diagnosed with cancer a year ago and don't travel well.
That's why I have turned to the computer for sharing and maybe finding
more facts. I live in Ohio, and we have a good gen. dept. here in town
-- glad to do any Ohio look-ups for you.

No, I do not know Beverly J. Dye in Texas but would like to.

Hope this helps.

Doris Preston
Findlay,
