Hi,

It looks as though your fiancé is not a direct male descendant so that Y DNA testing will not be useful. With the information you have, however, it is fairly easy to find his ancestors in the known Wright brother's extended family genealogy.

The following information was recently posted on Wright@Rootsweb.com by another researcher in response to your query on Ancestry.com message board that was gatewayed to that list. You will want to have this information as it pertains directly to answering your question. I have reposted it here on the Ancestry.com board you are using because I noticed you do not respond to Wright@Rootsweb.com postings and probably do not recieve them. For your fiancé's grandmother that you mentioned, please see individual #75, Katherine (WRIGHT) CHAFFEE (b. 1922), dau. of Herbert Wright (REUCHLIN8, MILTON7, DANIEL6, DANIEL5, BENONI4, SAMUEL3, JAMES2, Deacon SAMUEL1)and Irene May, and married to Edward Dugald Chaffee.

The following posting is from Charles Wright of Walpole, NH, who is a direct male descendant of Deacon Samuel Wright and a long time researcher of this and many other New England families.
