-------------------------

The reason I'm having so many problems finding the right Wrights is that
I've got very limited info about them. Most of the following info I got
off of Josie's marriage certificate (1894), an original deed (1895) showing
that James Wright, and his wife Necie Wright, sold land in Union County,
KY, to his daughter, Josie Wright McMichael, and Josie's daughter's (Frances)
birth certificate showing that her mother was in fact, Josie Wright (who
was 22 years old at the time and her birthplace was in Union County, KY).
I've also got an obit card showing that Josie died 2/21/1899. Based on
that info I'd say my James Wright was
probably born around 1850 or thereabouts. Here's all dates I've got on
my Wrights:

1. JAMES WRIGHT was born Unknown, and died Unknown.
He married NECIE. She was born Unknown, and died Unknown.

Child of JAMES WRIGHT and NECIE is:
2. i. JOSEPHINE3 WRIGHT, b. Bet. 9/1871 - 9/1875, Union County, KY; d.
2/21/1899.

Generation No. 2

2. JOSEPHINE WRIGHT (JAMES) was born Bet. 9/1871 - 9/1875
in Union County, KY, and died 2/21/1899. She married FRANKLIN HOMER MCMICHAEL
6/2/1894 in Posey County, IN, son of NELSON MCMICHAEL and CATHERINE SNIDER.
He was born 12/6/1868 in Equality, IL, and died 12/14/1936 in Coldwater,
MS.

Children of JOSEPHINE WRIGHT and FRANKLIN MCMICHAEL are:
3. i. FRANCES MAE MCMICHAEL, b. 4/17/1895, Morganfield, KY;

d. 1/24/1989, KY.
ii. JOSEPH HERMAN MCMICHAEL, b. Abt. 5/16/1897; d. 8/29/1898, Unk.

Generation No. 3

3. FRANCES MAE MCMICHAEL (JOSEPHINE WRIGHT, JAMES) was born 4/17/1895 in
Morganfield, KY, and died 1/24/1989 in KY. She married CAPP LEE CHESTER
2/8/1913 in Obion County, TN, son of JACOB CHESTER and LEONA DAVIS. He
was born 9/19/1893 in Columbus, KY, and died 7/4/1953.

Sorry for the limited amount of info but it's all I've got to work with
at the moment. Obviously my Wrights came from elsewhere but right now all
I have shows them in Union County, KY. If this is of any help please let
me know. Thanks.

Larry
