Where in Canada? My grandfather's mother was from Nova Scotia--she was a
Johnson, only a Wright through marriage. My Wrights, however, may have been
Loyalists during the Am. Rev. and went to Canada. They were from New York,
though originally from England. They settled in Jackson Co. Michigan and
later in Gratiot Co. JoAnn
