Participation in the Wright Surname DNA Project has provided conclusive proof that these 6 individuals are indeed related. Additional testing of descendants from other sons of 1690 Francis Wright of Lancaster Co., VA is needed to conclusively identify the modal haplotype for 1690 Francis Wright of Lancaster Co., VA.

WRIGHT line: 1690 Francis Wright of Lancaster Co., VA; born about 1653
wife: Mary (Hill) (Wright) (Lawrence) Meredith
children: Francis Wright, Jr., born probably between 1671-1676; married Anne _________
Charles Wright
Mary (Wright) Briggs
1730 John Wright of Goochland Co., VA, born after 1677 and before 1685
WRIGHT line: Francis Wright, Jr., born probably between 1671-1676
wife: Anne __________
children: unknown

Seeking male descendants of Francis Wright, Jr. for participation in this project.

WRIGHT line: Charles Wright born about 1683
wife: unknown
children: unknown

Seeking male descendants of Charles Wright for participation in this project.

WRIGHT line: 1730 John Wright of Goochland Co., VA, born after 1677 and before 1685
wife: unknown
children: Meredith - a son - born after March 1709

Seeking male descendants of 1730 John Wright of Goochland Co., VA for participation in this project.

Through the use of DNA testing we have proven that there is indeed a relationship between 1767 Francis Wright of Amherst, VA and aft 1772 John Wright of Goochland, VA. However, we are still speculating that the common ancestor between these two is Francis Wright, Jr. (born probably between 1671-1676, and married Anne __________). More traditional research is needed to find other descendants of this line who would be willing to participate in this study.
