I have been stuck for years on the
Wright family in TN or NC.
I am researching John
Jackson Wright, b. abt 1795 in TN. But TN at this time was part of NC and also an independent state, so the records got shuffled around a lot. He died in 1846 in
Polk Co., MO.
He married a Jane ???. Possible last names are
Smith or Brown. Jane is believed to be from
Seneca,
Oconee Co., SC. They were believed to have been married in TN abt 1820.
Their first child, Annie
Wright, married Isaac Brown who executed his will in MO. I believe that there may have been a strong family association between the Wright's and Brown's in TN. A second daughter also married a Brown. Their father was
Hiram Brown.
I have found a James
Wright in
Greene Co., TN. There was also a Brown whom he operated a mill with. He had a son John
Wright, but I can not find a definitive link indicating that this James
Wright is the father of the John
Wright I have.
Any assistance to breakout of this deadend would be appreciated.
