WRIGHT (3 Generations) Connecticut

The WRIGHT line was the first I worked on, because my mother and great-grandmother used ASHER WRIGHT as their DAR patriot. Therefore, I had a great start, and lots of information at hand. I have very little information about the other names in the tree, and hope somebody will find this information useful, or offer to share their own data. My direct lines are in green.  If you have any of these names and wish to share information, please contact me.
