my mother was related to james henry wright and he was from william williamson wright.she remembers her mother talking about how they[or the widow begged him??] beggeda son...maybe the only one left? to move near them and farm the river bottoms area..[where the rivers used to come up to,was rich land for a while].she often called the wifes maiden surname as murphy then corrected it and said murrah..she always forgot though.it was different she said.[he didnt move].
she never understood why some of the Wrights were blood related and were not friendly towards each other; she called it odd, as if they were stuck up.you would have thought the only child asa I.wright and mary elizabeth carpenterhad was Dr Columbus wright; great uncle Sam Wright ran a post office and he and Columbus went to Emory Univ. in Atlanta Ga.
