I am new to this so I'll just dive in.  My mother, Shirley Kay Wright, Ronald Alfred Wright, Edwin Mathias Wright, Mathias K Wright, Mathias B Wright, John Wright, Gabriel Wright.  There you have 7 generations of direct line ancestors. Gabriel migrated from Scotland as a youth following the battle of Culloden.  His family settled in New Jersey.  Son John migrated to northeastern Ohio Indian Territory.  Moved on to Fayette County.  Mathias B was born in Jeffersonville, Ohio, son Mathias K born in Jeffersonville then moved on to Kansas.  Son Edwin born in Ohio and moved on to Oregon.  Ronald born in Oregon and died in Monterey, California.  There you have it, now I am trying to fill in the blanks.

Sorry about the William Wright question, I meant to ask if this is the same Quaker  John Wright who was in the Newberry SC area of Quakers? I'm trying to see if the  William Wright is his brother or son. This William Wright was also a residence in the Camden, SC area also ? Thanks!

The problem that most folks have with the Wright surname is that they don't realize that Wright is and Occupation name and I know of at least 100 unrelated families in North America. My mother Edna Wright is descended from the Plymouth, Massachusetts Wrights.

I am new to this site.  I have hit the wall with Chester S Wright, 1850 census has him listed in Vermont.  His wife was Margaret Gregory.  The moved to Jackson Co, IA and were on the 1860 census. They had several children.  The family story is that they spoke French.  Their son Frank is my GGfather.  Their youngest son was Walter.  When they lived in Vermont Chester was listed on census as a stonecutter.Any help on this  would be much appreciated.

Yes, the Wright brickwalls a real fun. Sorting through mix ups and even misinformation is a real challenge as well. Before the US censuses, I am not entirely confident of the information that I have since the opportunity to "cross breed" lines is rather prevalent. Many name sakes in parallel generations with kids the same ages as cousins (even distant ones) but all still born, living and dying in the same places doesn't help. And then marrying back into each other's lines! YIKES!!

Do you have other family members tied in with your John M.? I have more Wright's than any other family name and maybe one of them will cross over somewhere.
