Hi folks, sorry I haven't commented since I posted - very busy. I'm a Wright/Olmsted, my grandfather George was born in Swanton Vermont where there are quite a few Wrights. His father (George) was killed in a railway accident and my grandfather and great grandmother Louis had to move to CT. The family immigrated into Vermont during the late 1700's from New Hampshire as far as I can tell, they originally landed in Massachusetts. I'll have to drag out my research and post it. There are still Wrights in Swanton who have descended from farmers, quarrymen, and many are of my great great grandfather Bradley's (b about 1848) line - he had several siblings.

My WRIGHT ancestor is Roxanna WRIGHT born abt. 1804 in New York. She married Samuel Nicholas COZART 4 Jan 1825 in White County, Illinois. He was from Kentucky. I have no idea where to look for her. I read that there are some books written on the WRIGHT family. Could someone tell me the names of them? Thank you.

Hello,

My name is Beth and I have been researching my Wright Family for a while now. My Wright Family is from Andover Ma. I was wondering if anyone esle had a connection to Andover. I am looking for the following Wrights if anyone is able to help. Walter Wright, 1642-1712 married 3 times interested in first wife Susannah Johnson, 1648-1684, John Wright, 1675-1752, married Mercy Wardwell, John Wright, 1702-? married Hannah Johnson, 1705-?. What I am interested in is John and Hannah, I can find no other information on them or their 10 children. It seems as though they vanished. If anyone is able to help that would be wonderful. Thanks in advance. Have a great evening.

Beth
